The proposed study uses a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the efficacy
of a brief intervention using spiritual self schema (3S+) counseling to simultaneously
target HIV health outcomes, and substance use among alcohol and/or drug dependent HIV
positive older adults (age 50+), relative to an attention control condition. Participants
will be randomly assigned to receive either: (1) 12 sessions of 3S+ counseling, adapted for
the present study to target both non-injection drug use, drinking, and HIV health; or (2) 12
sessions of education about HIV health and the associated with alcohol and drug use that
will serve as an attention-control.
