Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to CC PrTNER will be assigned a peer coach, complete interviewer-administered behavioral surveys, receive psychoeducation, identify health goals.
Group II: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
The participant's provider will receive an electronic alert in real time of the participant's positive screen for SU and a list of area substance treatment resources. The provider at their discretion will provide counseling or initiate a referral to in-clinic or community-based resources for SU assessment and treatment. Each of our clinical sites has case management resources for counseling and support for linkage to co-located SU treatment or community-based resources for inpatient or outpatient SU treatment as indicated at the discretion of the HIV/PrEP provider. SOC arm participants will not be assigned a coach. Study visit surveys and sample collection at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months are identical for intervention and SOC arm participants. Research personnel will make no attempts to provide brief intervention, motivational interviewing (MI), or case management.
