  • Costs of care for people living with combined HIV/Aids, chronic mental illness, and substance abuse disorders

    Christopher J Conover, Melanie R Weaver et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    To determine healthcare access and costs for triply diagnosed adults, we examined baseline data from the HIV/AIDS Treatment Adherence, Health Outcomes and Cost Study, a multi-site cohort study of HIV+ adults with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders conducted between 2000 and 2004. Baseline interviews were conducted with 1138 triply diagnosed adults in eight predominantly urban sites nationwide. A modified version of Structured Inter…

  • Understanding the interface of HIV, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use and its implications for health outcomes

    Deborah J Brief, Andreas R Bollinger et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    Many individuals living with HIV have been exposed to some type of traumatic event during their lives and may be living with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A substantial number of these individuals are also likely to show evidence of a co-morbid substance use disorder (SUD). There is reason to believe that the co-occurrence of HIV and PTSD or co-morbid PTSD and SUD (PTSD/SUD) may predict poorer health outcomes. There are sever…

  • Literature on integrated HIV care

    Tomas Soto, T A Soto et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    With a significant proportion of HIV-infected patients now presenting with co-occurring substance abuse disorders and mental disorders, interest in integrated HIV care is growing. However, no review of integrated HIV care has been conducted. Using relevant key word searches of the Medline and Psychlit databases, the authors identified about 450 publications. The few evaluations of integrated models tended to focus on measurements of engagement an…

  • Adherence in people living with HIV/Aids, mental illness, and chemical dependency

    Karina K Uldall, Nancy Palmer et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    Adherence to antiretroviral medications is central to reducing morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV/AIDS. Relatively few studies published to date address HIV adherence among special populations. The purpose of this article is to review the existing literature on HIV antiretroviral adherence, with an emphasis on studies among the triply diagnosed population of people living with HIV/AIDS, mental illness, and chemical dependency. I…

  • Economic evaluations of HIV treatment and health research with people diagnosed with HIV infection and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

    Christopher J Conover, Susan L Ettner et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    This paper describes the research challenges involved in measuring costs in economic evaluations of patients who are coping simultaneously with HIV/AIDS and co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders-especially in multi-site studies. We describe the general issues that arise in measuring costs for this population and suggest some operational solutions for their resolution, drawing from our experience in a recent multi-site health se…

  • Recruitment, engagement, and retention of people living with HIV and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

    Robert J Calsyn, W Dean Klinkenberg et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    People living with HIV/AIDS who have both a co-occurring mental health diagnosis and a substance use disorder (individuals with triple diagnoses) frequently do not receive adequate treatment for one or more of their illnesses. Poverty, risky behaviours, vacillating motivation, and cognitive impairments are additional problems facing many individuals with triple diagnoses. In many communities the service system is inadequately prepared to serve th…

  • Mental disorders and drug abuse in persons living with HIV/Aids

    W Dean Klinkenberg, Stan Sacks et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    This article reviews the literature on the prevalence of mental and substance use disorders among persons living with HIV/AIDS. Drug use, both injection and non-injection, substantially increases the risk for HIV infection. While injection drug users have the highest prevalence rates for HIV, substantially elevated rates of HIV infection are also present among crack cocaine users and individuals with substance use disorders generally. Persons wit…
