Brief Summary:
The main aim of this study is to test an intervention to reduce unsafe drinking among HIV-positive primary care patients. The intervention consists of a brief motivational interview, which is combined with daily alcohol monitoring through the use of an interactive voice response system IVR (automated telephone system). Subjects who receive the enhanced motivational interview are expected to show greater improvements in drinking than individuals who receive the standard motivational interview or view a DVD on HIV self-care.
Detailed Description:
HIV infection is a widespread health problem in the U.S. Antiretroviral treatment has increased longevity and changed the nature of risk factors for morbidity and mortality. Alcohol consumption has become an increasingly serious health issue among HIV primary care patients. Drinking is a key factor in progression to severe liver damage (especially those co-infected with hepatitis), and liver disease is now one of the most common causes of death among those with HIV. Excess drinking is also associated with medication noncompliance, reduces the effect of antiretroviral treatment, and is linked to other health problems. Therefore, helping HIV patients reduce unsafe drinking is crucial to their long-term health. The intervention combines the brief MI, an established, evidence-based counseling approach, with an innovative procedure designed to strengthen the effects of the MI. An effective, easily implemented alcohol-reduction intervention could be incorporated into standard care in HIV clinics helping prevent or slow the progress of some medical problems in HIV-infected individuals, improve medication compliance, prolong lifespan and decrease risk behavior associated with alcohol use.
