Journal ArticleDOI
Screening and brief intervention for drug use in primary care: the ASPIRE randomized clinical trial.
Richard Saitz,Tibor P. Palfai,Debbie M. Cheng,Daniel P. Alford,Judith Bernstein,Christine Lloyd-Travaglini,Seville Meli,Christine E. Chaisson,Jeffrey H. Samet +8 more
TL;DR: Brief intervention did not have efficacy for decreasing unhealthy drug use in primary care patients identified by screening and these results do not support widespread implementation of illicit drug use and prescription drug misuse screening and brief intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol consumption and antiretroviral adherence among HIV-infected persons with alcohol problems.
TL;DR: Addressing alcohol use in HIV-infected persons may improve antiretroviral adherence and ultimately clinical outcomes, as any alcohol use among HIV- infected persons with a history of alcohol problems is associated with worse HAART adherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake and adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy among HIV‐infected people with alcohol and other substance use problems: the impact of substance abuse treatment
TL;DR: Substance abuse treatment programs may provide an opportunity for HIV-infected people with alcohol or drug problems to openly address issues of HIV care including enhancing adherence to HAART.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Enhance Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence in Patients with a History of Alcohol Problems
Jeffrey H. Samet,Nicholas J. Horton,Seville Meli,Kim Dukes,Tara Tripps,Lisa M. Sullivan,Kenneth A. Freedberg +6 more
TL;DR: The failure to change adherence in a group at high risk for poor adherence, despite utilizing an intensive individual-focused patient intervention, supports the idea of addressing medication adherence with supervised medication delivery or markedly simplified dosing regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic care management for dependence on alcohol and other drugs: the AHEAD randomized trial.

TL;DR: Among persons with alcohol and other drug dependence, CCM compared with a primary care appointment but no CCM did not increase self-reported abstinence over 12 months, and whether more intensive or longer-duration CCM is effective requires further investigation.
