Practice Facilitation to Improve Alcohol Treatment in HIV Care

This study is looking at how to better provide alcohol treatment to people living with HIV. It's testing a strategy called "Practice Facilitation," where a coach helps clinics offer different levels of alcohol treatment (called "Alcohol Stepped Care") to patients. This stepped care can include brief interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, or medication, depending on how much alcohol a patient uses. The study wants to see if Practice Facilitation helps more patients get these alcohol treatments. You could be eligible to participate if you are clinic staff (clinical or administrative) or a person with HIV receiving care at specific centers. The study will measure success by looking at the percentage of patients who receive an alcohol intervention over 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
