Summary

This study looked at whether providing mental health care to people who inject drugs can improve their mental health and reduce their risk of getting HIV or hepatitis C. Over 500 participants in Haiphong, Vietnam, received free psychiatric consultations, medications, and support from community members. The goal was to see if those with mental health conditions could achieve similar health outcomes as those without such conditions.
