DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed randomized controlled study will attempt to reduce HIV sexual transmission risk and substance use, increase the utilization of primary HIV care services, and improve psychosocial health among a sample of 320 alcohol abusing, HIV+ individuals. The experimental intervention will include an adaptation of the Holistic Health Recovery Program (HHRP; Margolin et al., 2003) that is the only evidence-based, HIV+ intervention for improving sexual risk and adherence outcomes for an addicted population. For this study, the intervention will be adapted for use in a culturally diverse, alcohol abusing sample. HHRP will be compared to a Health Promotion Comparison (HPC) condition, which addresses common health problems, including personal hygiene and healthy living. Specific aims include: 1) comparing the adapted HHRP to the HPC condition to evaluate if HHRP reduces HIV sexual transmission risk, alcohol and other drug use, and improves the utilization of primary HIV care services and psychosocial health; 2) evaluating how Information, Motivation, Behavioral Skills mediate intervention effects on safe sex outcome; and 3) evaluating how key neuropsychological and molecular-genetic factors moderate the effect of the intervention on HIV transmission risk outcomes. Recruitment sites are primarily located in densely populated, multicultural, low income, urban areas of Miami with high rates of AOD abuse, HIV, violence and poverty, with the vast majority of the population being uninsured and suffering from multiple health disparities. The study is a prospective, randomized by cohort two-group design. The scheduled sequence of procedures will be: a) informed consent, screening, and baseline assessment; b) a 120 minute group session of HHRP or HPC sessions administered once a week for 12 consecutive weeks; and c) a post- intervention assessment. Follow-up assessment protocols will be administered at 3, 6, and 12 months post-intervention. Neuropsychological and blood tests for molecular/genetic typing will also be conducted to assist in identifying factors which may influence the impact of the intervention study. The proposed study will attempt to reduce HIV sexual transmission risk and substance use among a sample of alcohol abusing, HIV+ individuals. In studying the memory, information processing, executive functioning as well as genetic factors of the individuals of this study, researchers will be better able to discern those factors which may have an impact on treatment effects. This study therefore has the potential to identify individual characteristics that may contribute to specific reductions in risky behaviors in this sample.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的随机对照研究将试图减少艾滋病毒性传播风险和物质使用，增加艾滋病毒初级保健服务的利用率，并改善320名酗酒、艾滋病毒阳性个体的心理健康。实验性干预将包括整体健康恢复计划（HHRP; Margolin等人，2003年），这是唯一的证据为基础的，艾滋病毒+干预措施，以改善性风险和成瘾人群的依从性结果。对于这项研究，干预措施将适用于文化多样性，酒精滥用样本。HRP将与健康促进比较（HPC）条件进行比较，该条件解决了常见的健康问题，包括个人卫生和健康生活。具体目标包括：1）比较HHRP与HPC的情况，以评估HHRP是否降低了HIV性传播风险、酒精和其他药物的使用，并改善了初级HIV护理服务的利用率和心理社会健康; 2）评估信息、动机、行为技能如何介导干预对安全性行为结果的影响;评估关键神经心理学和分子遗传学因素如何调节干预对HIV传播风险结果的影响。招募地点主要位于人口稠密、多元文化、低收入的迈阿密城市地区，那里的AOD滥用、艾滋病毒、暴力和贫困率很高，绝大多数人口没有保险，并遭受多种健康差异。本研究是一项前瞻性、随机化队列两组设计。计划的程序顺序将是：a）知情同意、筛选和基线评估; B）每周一次连续12周进行120分钟的HRP或HPC小组会议;以及c）干预后评估。将在干预后3、6和12个月进行随访评估方案。还将进行分子/基因分型的神经心理学和血液检查，以帮助确定可能影响干预研究影响的因素。 这项拟议中的研究将试图减少艾滋病毒性传播的风险和药物使用的样本酗酒，艾滋病毒+个人。在研究这项研究的个体的记忆、信息处理、执行功能以及遗传因素时，研究人员将能够更好地识别那些可能影响治疗效果的因素。因此，这项研究有可能确定个人特征，可能有助于具体减少危险行为在这个样本。
