IGHID 12230 - An Implementation Trial of an Experiential Brief Alcohol Intervention for HIV Prevention

Summary

This study is a hybrid type 3, cluster randomized implementation trial to examine effective strategies to scale up the Brief Alcohol Intervention (BAI) in ART clinics in Vietnam. One arm will receive only facilitation for BAI implementation. Facilitation is a flexible strategy that helps clinics to address common barriers, such as counselor skills, competing priorities, and resource deficits. In the other arm, in addition to facilitation, clinic staff, irrespective of their own alcohol use, will be offered the BAI themselves as experiential learning (EBAI) to address their own alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors. Clinic staff responsible for delivering the BAI to patients will also be offered 3 consolidation activities to integrate their own experiences with their delivery of the BAI.

Conditions

• HIV-1-infection
• Unhealthy Alcohol Use

Interventions

OTHER

Facilitation (FAC)

The facilitation approach will use a flexible clinic level implementation strategy that helps clinics to address common barriers, such as counselor skills, competing priorities, and resource deficits.

BEHAVIORAL

Experiential Brief Alcohol Intervention (EBAI)

Clinic staff will be offered the experiential BAI prior to implementation. The BAI comprises 2 in-person sessions and 2 booster phone sessions. Clinic staff responsible for delivering the BAI to PWH participants will be offered 3 additional consolidation sessions to integrate their experiences receiving the BAI with their delivery of the BAI.
