Brief summary (from the registry)
This project will develop a novel collaborative treatment, based on the primary care behavioral consultation model and behavior therapy techniques including motivational interviewing and functional assessment, in which a patient, a Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) and a HIV primary care provider share a unified plan targeting misuse of prescribed opioid analgesics in older HIV+ adults. The intervention will involve meetings between the BHC and the PCP, the BHC and the participant, and the BHC, PCP and the participant. Opioid misuse will be the primary outcome variable. Quality of the patient-provider relationship, pain, problematic use of other substances, antiretroviral adherence, and psychosocial functioning will be secondary outcomes.
