This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of two Patient Navigation models of care to evaluate the proportion who initiate PrEP/ART and substance use/substance use disorder (SU/SUD) treatment. A standardized Patient Navigation (PN) arm will be compared with a shared decision-making model in the form of Patient Choice (PC) through the offer of a menu of existing community-based health service delivery options. This design will offer providers, correctional and public health authorities, payers and policy makers' timely and relevant data to assess the effectiveness of Patient Navigation and Patient Choice models of care as potentially useful re-entry and relapse prevention treatment options.
This study will be done in two phases. Phase 1 the R61 portion of the project will be a Pilot Study, and Phase 2 the R33 portion of the project will be a Randomized Controlled Trail informed by the pilot.
The focus of this registration is the pilot study. In Year 1 (R61; Aim 1) the intervention of the patient choice menu of options of PrEP/ART and SUD treatment services for justice involved people who use drugs (PWUD) to supplement established peer navigation (PN +PC) will be developed and pilot tested in Western Connecticut only (Fairfield, Litchfield, Southern New Haven Counties).
Implementation procedures for this study include needs assessment survey and focus groups consisting of CAB members and PNs to assess the types of services available in their community, as well as gaps in services and ideas of how services can be improved. These needs assessment surveys and focus groups will occur 3 times throughout the study.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Patient Navigation (PN) | Active Comparator | PNs are "near-peer" professionals who have shared lived experiences with participants and help them overcome barriers to accessing and engaging in quality care. PNs are trained and linked to PrEP/ART and SUD services. This manualized PN approach provides appointment scheduling to brick and mortar services only, and not to MHU or telehealth services. |
|
| PN + Patient Choice (PC) (PN+PC) | Experimental | PNs working in the PN + PC arm will be trained to engage participants in selecting from the menu of options developed in the pilot. This menu of SUD and HIV prevention and treatment service delivery options will be created through bolstering and working with our CAB. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility/acceptability will be assessed using the CAB Community Needs Assessment | Attitudes toward acceptability and feasibility of the PN and PN+PC menu of options will be surveyed from CAB members using the needs assessment created during project ACTION as a foundation. | 3 months |
| Feasibility/acceptability will be assessed using the Organizational Readiness for Implementing Change (ORIC) from the JCOIN Common Measure survey | Organizational readiness for implementing change (ORIC) will be surveyed at start of preparation and sustainment phases with CAB members to evaluate confidence and commitment to using the PN+PC approach. | 3 months |
| Participant attitudes toward the interventions will be assessed using the Scales for Participant Alliance with Recovery Coach (SPARC) | Participant attitudes toward the PN and PN+PC implementation approach (rapport, satisfaction, linkage to services, engagement) will be collected at 3 months using the Scales for Participant Alliance with Recovery Coach; SPARC. The SPARC is scored on a Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree), higher scores indicate a high perception of the recovery coach alliance. There are six domains (engagement, satisfaction, rapport, motivation and encouragement, role model, and community linkage), and each domain score is between 10 and 50. | 3 months |
| Percentage of participants with access to PrEP/ART services | Utilization of Services and PN Engagement data will be used to assess the percentage of participants with access to PrEP/ART services. | 3 months |
| Percentage of participants with receipt of treatment | Defined as participants that have received a prescription for PrEP/ART |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Substance use treatment | Percentage of participants engaged in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment | 3 months |
