Substance Use and HIV Navigator
The INTEGRA study utilizes a mobile health delivery unit (aka mobile clinic) to link persons who inject drugs (PWID) to integrated care and prevention for addiction, HIV, HCV and primary care. The study protocol includes a peer navigation component that is intended to assist people who may not have ready access to services to overcome barriers of entry to care and to remain in treatment.
Navigators work with the study team to recruit and retain participants. Each Peer Navigator is responsible for a caseload of participants, assessing their needs and ensuring that they are directly connected to the healthcare and other services needed. They are responsible for completion of peer navigation sessions with each assigned participant, following a manual and documenting all interactions in the appropriate systems. Navigation is typically done in person and may take place at the mobile unit, in a public setting, or at the participant’s home. In some cases, navigation may occur over the phone. Navigators will administer study measures and assist with data entry. Navigators will work as part of a larger study team, attending regular meetings and supervision and assisting with daily setup and tear down of the mobile unit. Navigators may also drive the mobile unit or study van.
