Contributions to the literature
-
Project Khanya will extend the existing literature by improving our understanding of the implementation of peer-delivered behavioral interventions for substance use and HIV medication adherence in a resource-limited setting with one of the greatest HIV burdens globally.
-
Implementation science methods are needed to evaluate task sharing models in global mental health.
-
Resource-limited settings with the greatest HIV burden face unique implementation barriers.
-
A peer-delivered integrated behavioral intervention such as the one evaluated in Project Khanya may be a feasible, acceptable, efficient, and scalable approach to extending the reach of substance use care for people living with HIV globally.
