Can coaching clinics boost alcohol care for HIV patients?

NCT ID NCT05241990

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving clinics a dedicated coach helps them offer alcohol treatment to people with HIV who drink too much. The coach provides tools and guidance to support a stepped care model, which starts with brief advice and progresses to therapy or medication if needed. Researchers will track how many patients receive help and whether it leads to better HIV outcomes like medication adherence.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that coaching clinics is an effective way to get alcohol treatment to people with HIV, potentially improving their overall health.

What could go wrong

This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. It focuses on how to deliver existing treatments, so it won't directly create a new cure or therapy. Results may vary by clinic.
