Interventions

  • mSYNC — BEHAVIORAL
    mSYNC in an mHealth HIV prevention intervention to be initially delivered at point-of-care during a visit to the emergency department with continued on demand access to intervention app at home. Taking a behavioral medicine approach, mSYNC simulates hospital-based consultation \& liaison psychology service by intervening on interrelated health risk behaviors, mental health issues, and structural/treatment needs. The mHealth app includes modules with motivational interviewing for HIV/drug use risk behaviors, cognitive behavioral therapy for transdiagnostic psychological coping skills, referral system for needed hospital-based services (mental health/drug use treatment; HIV prevention; social services), and access to geolocated resources.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test a psychosocial-behavioral mobile health (mHealth) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention intervention in people who use drugs presenting to the emergency department (ED). The main question the study aims to answer is: is the intervention acceptable and appropriate? Participants will use the mHealth app while waiting in the ED and also at home for 90 days. Participants will be asked to complete surveys at baseline, before leaving the ED, and at 30-, 60-, and 90-day follow up visits.
