A cluster randomized experiment with 39 AIDS service organizations located across the United States. The overarching goal is to test the extent to which the organization-focused Implementation & Sustainment Facilitation (ISF) strategy is an effective adjunct to the staff-focused Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) strategy.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • AIDS service organizations have to
  • serve a minimum of 100 individuals living with HIV/AIDS per year,

ATTC strategy

Behavioral

Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) strategy: A staff-focused strategy that includes 10 discrete strategies (e.g., centralized technical assistance, conduct educational meetings, provide ongoing consultation).

Behavioral

Implementation & Sustainment Facilitation (ISF) strategy: An organization-focused strategy that includes 7 discrete strategies (e.g., use of an implementation advisor, organize implementation team meetings, conduct cyclical small tests of change).

Primary outcomes

  1. Time-to-Proficiency (TTP) Score

    Time frame: Assessed at the end of the 2-month post-workshop preparation phase

    A continuous measure representing the number of days between completion of the training workshop by targeted staff and targeted staff's demonstration of proficiency in the motivational interviewing-based brief intervention.

  2. Implementation Effectiveness Index (IEI) Score

    Time frame: Assessed at the end of the 6-month implementation phase

    A continuous measure representing the sum of the standardized cumulative number of motivational interviewing brief interventions delivered by targeted staff (i.e., consistency) and the cumulative integrity score of targeted staff's delivered of the motivational interviewing-based brief intervention (i.e., quality).

  3. Level of Sustainment (LOS) Score

    Time frame: Assessed at the end of the 6-month sustainment phase

    A continuous measure representing the number of Motivational Interviewing-based Brief Interventions targeted Brief Intervention Staff report delivery of the motivational interviewing-based brief intervention during the past 6-months following the end of the implementation phase.
