Implementation to Motivate Physician Response to Opioid Dependence in HIV Settings

The U.S. is in the midst of an epidemic of opioid overdose deaths. The common use of opioids
among persons living with HIV, along with their common use of benzodiazepines, has resulted
in high rates of opioid overdose among this population. This study will test the
implementation of evidence-based training, mentoring, technical support, and academic
detailing to encourage HIV physicians to adopt evidence-based interventions to reduce
overdose risk and treat opioid addiction.

Inclusion Criteria:

Clinicians and staff of HIV practice sites that:

- Receive Ryan White Funding;

- Have 3 or more prescribing clinicians;

- Have an electronic medical record (EMR) with an electronic medication list.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Sites located in states with fewer than 500 Persons Living With HIV (PLWH) will be
