Functional Health Status and Health Utilization in
HIV-Infected Patients in the South},
Journal = {Psychosomatic Medicine},
Volume = {67},
Number = {3},
Pages = {500-507},
Year = {2005},
Abstract = {Objective: Psychosocial research in HIV has had almost an
exclusive focus on predicting biological markers of HIV
disease progression; however, health-related quality of life
and use of health services may also be important indicators
of HIV disease progression. The current study examines how
trauma, severe stressful events, PTSD and depressive
symptoms are related to health-related quality of life
(e.g., physical functioning) and health utilization in
HIV-infected men and women living in rural areas of the
south. Methods: We collected data on 611 consecutive
patients from 8 rural HIV clinics in 5 southern states.
Results: We found that patients with more lifetime trauma,
stressful events and PTSD symptoms reported worse
health-related quality of life, including more bodily pain,
and poorer physical, role and cognitive functioning. Trauma,
recent stressful events and PTSD explained from 12% to 27%
of the variance in health-related functioning, over and
above that explained by demographic variables. In addition,
patients with more trauma, including sexual and physical
abuse, and PTSD symptoms were at greater risk for having bed
disability, an overnight hospitalization, an emergency room
visit, and four or more HIV outpatient clinic visits in the
previous nine months. Patients with a history of abuse had
about twice the risk of spending five or more days in bed,
having an overnight hospital stay, and visiting the
emergency room, compared to those without abuse. The effects
of trauma and stress were largely explained by increases in
current PTSD symptoms. Conclusions: These findings highlight
the importance of addressing past trauma, stress and current
PTSD within clinical care.},

Volume = {98},
Number = {1},
Pages = {9-14},
Year = {2005},
Abstract = {This manuscript examines the frequencies of substance abuse
and mental health comorbidities in a sample of HIV-positive
individuals receiving care at two Infectious Diseases
clinics in one region of the Southeast. Of those screened
with a standardized screening instrument, 60% had symptoms
of mental illness, 32% for substance abuse, and 23% had
co-occurring symptoms of both disorders. These rates are
higher than others found in an HIV-positive sample, and
highlight the need to identify and address comorbidities
that affect behavior. Appropriate treatment strategies are
needed to alleviate the burden that these comorbidites may
place on effective HIV treatment regimens.},

Persons with HIV},
Journal = {AIDS Patient Care and STDS},
Volume = {19},
Number = {2},
Pages = {23-29},
Year = {2005},
Abstract = {Mental illness and substance abuse are common among
HIV-infected individuals and are associated with negative
outcomes, including poor medication adherence. Therefore,
quick and effective methods for detecting these co-occurring
disorders are necessary for health care practitioners. This
article reports on the creation and preliminary testing of a
brief screening tool, the Substance Abuse and Mental Illness
Symptoms Screener (SAMISS). The 13-item screener was
developed primarily from existing scales and administered to
HIV-infected individuals receiving care at Infectious
Diseases clinics in the Southeast. To assess the validity of
the SAMISS, a subset of those who screened positive for both
mental illness symptoms and substance use problems (n=207)
were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for
DSM-IV Disorders (SCID). The positive predictive value of
the screener in comparison to the SCID was 98.6% for mental
disorders and 98.6% for substance use disorders. The
agreement between specific screener symptoms and their
corresponding SCID diagnoses was relatively high for alcohol
dependence (κ =.50, p<0.001), drug dependence (κ
=.30, p<0.001), and drug abuse (κ =.42, p<0.001). The
finding that the screener is highly predictive of having a
general mental disorder and substance use disorder among
those screening positive for mental illness symptoms and
substance use problems, as well as its brevity and ease of
administration, make it a useful tool to detect symptoms of
co-occurring disorders so that patients can be referred to
mental health and substance abuse specialists. The screener
is not a diagnostic instrument and has limited value in
predicting specific psychiatric diagnoses.},

Patients},

Volume = {40},

Year = {2005},
Abstract = {Background: Substance abuse (SA) and mental illness (MI)
commonly co-occur with HIV infection in the United States
and have important implications for clinical management of
HIV/AIDS. Yet SA/MI often go untreated due in part to a lack
of practical, validated screening tools. Setting: HIV clinic
in academic medical center. Methods: The 16-item SA/MI
Symptoms Screener (SAMISS) targets SA/MI in HIV-positive
patients. Consecutive consenting HIV-positive patients
completed the SAMISS and then a reference standard
diagnostic tool, SCID, the Structured Clinical Interview for
DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, Fourth Edition). Results: Twenty percent of
participants (29/148) had an SA diagnosis and 41% (59/143)
had an MI diagnosis in the past year on the SCID; 48%
(68/143) had 1 or both. Thirty-seven percent (55/148)
screened positive for SA and 69% (99/143) screened positive
for MI on the SAMISS. The SAMISS had 86% (95% CI: 68%-96%)
sensitivity and 75% (66%-82%) specificity for SA and 95%
(86%-99%) sensitivity and 49% (38%-60%) specificity for MI.
Patients with SA were likely to show up as false positives
for MI and vice versa. Conclusion: The SAMISS functioned
well as a first-line screening tool for SA/MI in this HIV
clinic population. It missed few cases and was easily
incorporated into a busy clinical setting. Persons screening
positive require a more rigorous confirmatory psychiatric
evaluation.},

Title = {Prevalence of Childhood Sexual Abuse in a Southern
HIV-Positive Cohort},
Journal = {American Journal of Public Health},
Volume = {96},
Number = {6},
Pages = {970–973},
Year = {2006},
Abstract = {Objective: This study describes the prevalence and
predictors of sexual and physical trauma among HIV-infected
persons in the Deep South. Methods: Prevalence of sexual and
physical abuse was evaluated in a sample of 611 HIV-positive
individuals. Interviews included a behavioral assessment to
measure abuse and questions about the behaviors and
attributes of primary caretakers during childhood. Results:
Over half of this sample was sexually or physically abused
during their lives. Approximately 30% of respondents
reported either sexual or severe physical abuse before age
13. Nearly one quarter of both men and women reported
experiencing childhood sexual abuse. Parent characteristics
are associated with childhood abuse, but not lifetime abuse.
Conclusions: This is the largest study of a clinic
population, using standard sexual abuse measures, to find
such high rates of childhood abuse. Sexual abuse and
physical abuse are related to higher rates of activities
that put individuals at risk for contracting and
transmitting HIV and other STDs. These findings may help
explain why people engage in high-HIV-risk activities and
may assist health educators and clinicians in designing more
appropriate prevention messages and care.},

Title = {. “Exploring Trust as a Barrier to Health Service
Use},
Journal = {American Journal of Public Health},
Volume = {96},
Number = {4},
Pages = {716–721},
Year = {2006},
Abstract = {Objective: This study examines the association between trust
of health care providers and government with health services
utilization and outcomes. Methods: Associations were
evaluated in a sample of 611 HIV-positive individuals from
the Deep South. Interviews included an attitudinal
assessment to measure beliefs concerning who created AIDS
and why, whether information is being withheld about the
disease and whether the respondents trust their care
providers. Results: Trust in care providers was associated
with: 3 or more HIV-related outpatient clinic visits over 9
months; fewer emergency room visits; taking antiretroviral
medications; and improved reported physical health and
mental health. Trusting the government was associated with:
fewer emergency room visits; greater mental health and
physical health. More than one-quarter of the respondents
believed that the government created AIDS to kill minorities
and more than half believed that a lot of information about
AIDS is being withheld from the public. One in ten did not
trust their provider to give them the best care possible.
Conclusions: This study indicates that distrust may be a
barrier to health services utilization and therefore to
optimal health. The study also demonstrates that distrust is
not isolated in minority communities, but also exists among
non-minorities and equally interferes with use of services
and health outcomes.},

Title = {Association of unmet needs for support services with
medication use and adherence among HIV-infected individuals
in the Southeastern United States},
Journal = {AIDS Care},
Volume = {18},
Number = {4},
Pages = {277-283},
Year = {2006},
Abstract = {Unmet needs for services, such as housing and psychiatric
treatment, are relatively common among HIV-infected
individuals; however, the effects of different types of
unmet needs on health care outcomes are not well understood.
This study describes unmet psychosocial needs and their
relationship with health care outcomes among individuals
receiving HIV care in the Southeastern U.S. (N=526). We used
multivariate logistic regression to examine the relationship
of seven categories of unmet needs with HIV medication use
and adherence. Most participants (84.5%) reported at least
one service need in the past year. Nearly half (47%) of
participants with service needs reported that at least one
need was not met. Participants with one or more unmet needs
were less likely to be taking any HIV medications (p=.007)
and reported poorer medication adherence (p=.013). The
specific unmet needs for benefits (including Social
Security, health insurance, and prescription coverage)
(p=.006) and a support group (p=.040) were associated with
being less likely to be taking any HIV medications. Unmet
need for mental health-related counseling was associated
with poorer medication adherence (p=.003). Study findings
regarding the high level of unmet need and the association
of unmet need with poorer outcomes illustrate the importance
of interventions to address these needs.},
