Official title
The PFT Intervention: Linking Triply Diagnosed Inpatients to Community Care
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The PATH for Triples (PFT) Study is an effectiveness trial comparing a nurse health navigator (NHN) model for HIV+ persons with severe mental illness and substance abuse (i.e., triply diagnosed) with Treatment as Usual (TAU). The team completed a Phase II trial of the nurse health navigator model for HIV+ persons with severe mental illness that showed the intervention was effective. The investigators are now testing the intervention in a real world setting with patients recruited from psychiatric and substance abuse inpatient units in Philadelphia using a longitudinal design. The intervention is set up as a cascade where non-adherent patients receive additional visits from the study nurses. It is hypothesized that patients assigned to the NHN will have better medication compliance, reduced viral loads and improved CD4 counts compared to patients assigned to TAU. It is also hypothesized that the PFT intervention group will be more cost effective compared to TAU. This group of triply diagnosed patients are at very high risk of negative health outcomes and secondary transmission of HIV and, therefore, the study is of high public health significance.
