NCT05480956

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a serious injection-related injections (SIRI) checklist aimed at increasing evidence-based treatment for rural people who use drugs (PWUD) including innovative, long-acting injectable agents. The central hypothesis is that hospital-based care models can successfully engage rural and Southern (PWUD) in effective addiction treatment and infection prevention. The activities in this study will be foundational to Ending the HIV epidemic in rural states.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Acceptability Assessment

    We will conduct exit interviews to assess provider perspectives of SIRI Checklist. We will query addiction, infectious diseases, and primary providers using a standard survey. Open-ended questions will solicit feedback on specific aspects of the checklist or delivery that need to be addressed, edited, or removed before a subsequent randomized controlled study. We will conduct a 3 month follow up survey of participants to assess use of PrEP, addiction treatment, and healthcare utilization.

    From enrollment to 3 month post-enrollment

  • Feasibility Assessment

    We will quantify participants who meet study criteria, consent, have documentation of the SIRI checklist in provider notes, initiate MOUD and/or PrEP in the hospital, and complete exit interviews in order to assess how feasible the intervention is.

    From enrollment to 3 months post-enrollment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of prescriptions for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis)

    Enrollment until 3 months post-enrollment.

  • Number of prescription for medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD)

    Enrollment until 3 months post-enrollment.

  • Number of outpatient visit(s)attended related to HIV and/or addiction services following hospitalization.

    Enrollment until 3 months post-enrollment.

Study Arms (4)

SIRI Checklist

EXPERIMENTAL

A standardized checklist of clinical items to review by the attending hospitalist with participants.

Behavioral: SIRI Checklist

Enhanced Peer Recovery Coach

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive the addiction medicine protocol plus peer recovery coaching beginning while hospitalized and continuing for up to 1 month after randomization. As part of this study, Peer recovery coaches will initiate contact with patients weekly in person during the hospitalization and at the time of hospital discharge. The enhanced part of the peer coach is the post-hospital follow-up. Following discharge, contact will continue weekly in person, by phone, and/or via text messaging based on the participant's preferences for 1 month.

Behavioral: Enhanced Peer Recovery Coach

SIRI Checklist + Enhanced Peer Recovery Coach

EXPERIMENTAL

A standardized checklist of clinical items to review by the attending hospitalist with participants. Participants will receive the addiction medicine protocol plus peer recovery coaching beginning while hospitalized and continuing for up to 1 month after randomization. As part of this study, Peer recovery coaches will initiate contact with patients weekly in person during the hospitalization and at the time of hospital discharge. The enhanced part of the peer coach is the post-hospital follow-up. Following discharge, contact will continue weekly in person, by phone, and/or via text messaging based on the participant's preferences for 1 month.

Behavioral: SIRI Checklist + Enhanced Peer Recovery Coach

Standard of Care

NO INTERVENTION

Participants will receive the stand hospital care while in-patient.
