SLAM DUNC: Strategies to Link Antidepressant and Antiretroviral Management at Duke University, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Northern Outreach Clinic (Henderson, NC), and University of North Carolina
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Measurement-Based Care collaborative depression management and Enhanced Usual Care for Depression and HIV. Completed, enrolled 304 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
This project will integrate a depression treatment and brief medication adherence counseling intervention into clinical care at three HIV clinics and will use a randomized controlled trial to assess whether, relative to usual care, the intervention leads to improved HIV medication adherence. The depression treatment intervention uses a model known as Measurement-Based Care which equips Depression Care Managers with systematic measurement tools, a decision algorithm, and psychiatric backup and trains them to provide decision support to HIV clinicians to implement, monitor, and adjust antidepressant therapy.
