This first open trial pilot study seeks to recruit patients in the clinic through posted flyers, cards and physician referral.

Detailed description

This study seeks to develop an integrated, behavioral video telehealth approach to address pain and heavy alcohol use among patients living with HIV and determine its feasibility and acceptability. Through an open pilot trial, this phase of this project will deliver an integrated alcohol-pain behavioral intervention to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) through videoconferencing. Intervention evaluation outcomes for this initial phase will include reduction of standard number of drinks per week, reduction in heavy drinking days, reduction of chronic pain severity and interference, ratings of patient satisfaction with treatment, and rate of treatment adherence.
