Collaborative Care Intervention to Improve Providers' Opioid Prescribing for HIV-infected Patients - Patient Cohort Component
The TEACH patient cohort will characterize a clinic sample of HIV-infected patients on chronic opioid therapy (COT) by describing basic demographics and health status, including characteristics of pain (severity and interference), aberrant behaviors/misuse of COT, substance use and trust/satisfaction with providers. In addition, data on a subset of participants will be used to supplement analysis of secondary outcomes for the TEACH randomized controlled trial (RCT), an intervention study directed at COT providers (outlined in a separate Clinical Trials Protocol Registration and Results (PRS) summary).
