DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): According to UNAIDS, Indonesia is experiencing one of the most rapidly expanding HIV/AIDS epidemics in Asia. The epidemic in Indonesia has been fueled by injection drug use among heroin users and the national response includes the scale-up of methadone maintenance treatment. Drug counseling is considered to be an integral part of methadone treatment, but few studies have been designed to assess its benefits and costs. In settings such as Jakarta, data regarding the costs and benefits of drug counseling have critical public heath relevance. We propose to conduct a prospective randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of integrated drug and HIV counseling among injecting drug users. This study will be conducted at six methadone clinics in Jakarta, Indonesia where the HIV prevalence among injecting drug users ranges between 50- 86%, with collaborators from the Drug Dependence Hospital in Jakarta, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University. The specific aims of this four year study are to evaluate the impact of Behavioral Drug and Risk Counseling (BDRC)-a low intensity, cognitive behavioral approach that integrates drug counseling and risk reduction intervention. Those assigned to the BDRC arm will be compared to those who receive treatment as usual which includes an initial risk reduction intervention and counseling as needed. We hypothesize that the structured, low intensity BDRC approach will be more cost effective and result in higher rates of retention in treatment, lower rates of drug use and lower rates of HIV risk. To test these hypotheses, the research team in Jakarta will recruit 300 injecting drug users as they enter treatment at the Drug Dependence Hospital and its five satellite programs. Following informed consent procedures, research staff will randomize participants to either the BDRC intervention or to treatment as usual. All subjects will be fuly assessed at baseline and months 3, 6, 9, and 12. The proposed work will be build on collaborations that have been established with the Indonesian Investigator Adhi Nurhidayat,MD during his NIDA INVEST Fellowship at University of Pennsylvania when he spent time with David Metzger, PhD and George Woody, MD. It will also extend findings from a WHO study on substitution therapy of opiates and HIV/AIDS that was completed by Riza Sarasvita, MS,MHS (former NIDA Humphrey Fellow at Johns Hopkins University) and her colleagues at The Drug Dependence Hospital Jakarta-Indonesia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The AIDS epidemic in Indonesia has been fueled by injection drug use among heroin users and the National response includes the scale-up of methadone maintenance treatment. Drug counseling is considered to be an integral part of methadone treatment, but few studies have been designed to assess its benefits and costs. In settings such as Jakarta, data regarding the costs and benefits of integrated drug and risk counseling have critical public heath relevance.

描述（由申请人提供）：根据联合国艾滋病规划署的资料，印度尼西亚是亚洲艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行蔓延最迅速的国家之一。海洛因吸毒者的注射吸毒加剧了印度尼西亚的流行病，国家应对措施包括扩大美沙酮维持治疗。药物咨询被认为是美沙酮治疗的一个组成部分，但很少有研究旨在评估其益处和成本。在雅加达等地区，有关药物咨询成本和效益的数据具有至关重要的公共卫生相关性。我们建议进行一项前瞻性随机试验，以评估注射吸毒者中综合药物和艾滋病毒咨询的效果。这项研究将在印度尼西亚雅加达的六家美沙酮诊所进行，那里注射吸毒者的艾滋病毒感染率在 50-86% 之间，合作者来自雅加达药物依赖医院、宾夕法尼亚大学和耶鲁大学。这项为期四年的研究的具体目标是评估行为药物和风险咨询 (BDRC) 的影响，这是一种低强度的认知行为方法，整合了药物咨询和降低风险干预。分配到 BDRC 组的患者将与照常接受治疗的患者进行比较，其中包括初始风险降低干预和必要的咨询。我们假设结构化、低强度的 BDRC 方法将更具成本效益，并导致更高的治疗保留率、更低的吸毒率和更低的 HIV 风险率。为了检验这些假设，雅加达的研究小组将招募 300 名注射吸毒者，让他们在药物依赖医院及其五个卫星项目接受治疗。按照知情同意程序，研究人员将随机将参与者随机分配到 BDRC 干预组或照常治疗组。所有受试者都将在基线以及第 3、6、9 和 12 个月进行全面评估。拟议的工作将建立在与印度尼西亚调查员 Adhi Nurhidayat 医学博士在宾夕法尼亚大学获得 NIDA INVEST 奖学金期间建立的合作基础上。与 David Metzger 博士和 George Woody 医学博士共度时光。它还将扩展世卫组织关于鸦片替代疗法和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的研究结果，该研究由 Riza Sarasvita, MS,MHS（前约翰霍普金斯大学 NIDA Humphrey 研究员）和她在印度尼西亚雅加达药物依赖医院的同事完成。公共卫生相关性：海洛因使用者注射吸毒加剧了印度尼西亚艾滋病的流行，国家应对措施包括扩大美沙酮维持治疗。药物咨询被认为是美沙酮治疗的一个组成部分，但很少有研究旨在评估其益处和成本。在雅加达等地区，有关综合药物和风险咨询的成本和效益的数据具有至关重要的公共卫生相关性。
