Achieving Equity in Patient Outcome Reporting for Timely Assessments of Life With HIV and Substance Use
Sponsor: University of Chicago
Summary
This study aims to achieve health equity in substance use disorder (SUD) screening and treatment among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by implementing interventions to decrease barriers to screening (clinic-based, in-person) and treatment (referral-focused), a program the study investigators call "Achieving Equity in Patient Outcome Reporting for Timely Assessments of Life With HIV and Substance Use (ePORTAL HIV-S)." The ePORTAL HIV-S randomized control trial will focus on portal-based screening in the HIV clinic, regardless of whether the patient has a scheduled appointment with their HIV provider.

Interventions
Population level patient portal based substance involvement screening
Participants 18 years or older, with an active patient portal account, who have attended a HIV care clinic visit in the HIV clinic in the last two years and have not completed the validated NIDA Quick Screen V1.0 in the previous year will be eligible for intervention randomization. Those randomized into the intervention group will receive the validated NIDA Quick Screen V1.0 over their patient portal account. Participants randomized to this group can complete the screener over the patient portal without a scheduled appointment with their HIV clinician.
Usual Care Substance Use Involvement Screening
Participants randomized to the usual care group will receive the validated NIDA Quick Screen V1.0 during routine in-clinic visits if they attend their scheduled visit. The medical assistant will ask participants to complete the NIDA Quick Screen V1.0. Participants who endorse the use of illegal drugs or prescription drugs for non-medical reasons, tobacco use, or heavy drinking will be referred to SUD treatment.
