DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recent national studies demonstrate that oral health care is one of the highest unmet health care needs for HIV-positive (HIV+) individuals, although it is recognized as playing a critical role in the medical management of HIV/AIDS. Social and economic factors have contributed to less than optimal use of oral health services for HIV+s in the United States. According to recent data, from Miami-Dade County, Florida, only 24% of HIV+s served by Ryan White-funded medical clinics had obtained oral health services in the past 12 months. To address the underutilization of oral health care services, we propose to develop, implement, and evaluate an intervention to assist low-income HIV+s in obtaining access to oral health services as well as increase appropriate utilization of these services. The intervention is a brief, client-centered case management intervention. The case management intervention is adapted from an intervention that has been previously tested in a CDC-funded, multi-site study designed to link recently diagnosed HIV+s to primary medical care. A two-arm randomized trial among HIV+ individuals who are currently enrolled in HIV primary medical care, but not receiving oral health care, will be conducted to test the intervention. The two arms will consist of a case management intervention and standard-of-care. Participants will be assessed at baseline, and at 9 and 18 months after baseline, to document their utilization of oral health services. An interdisciplinary team of behavioral and clinical research scientists with experience in developing and evaluating health care and prevention interventions targeting low income, HIV+s will conduct this research.

描述（由申请人提供）：最近的国家研究表明，口腔保健是艾滋病毒阳性（HIV+）个体最高的未满足的保健需求之一，尽管它被认为在艾滋病毒/艾滋病的医疗管理中发挥着关键作用。在美国，社会和经济因素导致了对HIV+的口腔卫生服务的最佳利用。根据最近的数据，从迈阿密戴德县，佛罗里达，只有24%的艾滋病毒+服务的瑞安怀特资助的医疗诊所获得了口腔健康服务，在过去的12个月。 为了解决口腔卫生保健服务的利用不足，我们建议制定，实施和评估干预措施，以帮助低收入的艾滋病毒阳性者获得口腔卫生服务，以及增加这些服务的适当利用。干预是一个简短的，以客户为中心的案件管理干预。病例管理干预措施改编自先前在CDC资助的多地点研究中测试的干预措施，该研究旨在将最近诊断的HIV+与初级医疗保健联系起来。 将在目前参加艾滋病毒初级医疗保健但未接受口腔保健的艾滋病毒阳性个体中进行一项双臂随机试验，以测试干预措施。这两个组将包括病例管理干预和标准治疗。将在基线以及基线后9个月和18个月对参与者进行评估，以记录他们对口腔健康服务的利用。一个由行为和临床研究科学家组成的跨学科团队，在开发和评估针对低收入人群的医疗保健和预防干预措施方面具有经验，HIV+s将进行这项研究。
