EITP-SHIR is an evidence-based intervention that aims to increase access to mental health, substance use, and sexual health treatment for African-American and Latino gay/bi men and transgender women who use club drugs during risky sex and are at high risk for contracting or transmitting HIV.

“The Montrose Center is implementing an innovative intervention that has the potential to improve retention in substance use treatment and recovery,” saidJ. Michael Wilkerson,博士,HPBS副教授。“通过提供一个肯定的空间,该空间允许关于如何体验性愉悦而在最大程度地减少伤害的情况下进行非判断的对话,该中心提供的计划有可能积极地改变其客户的生活。健康促进与预防研究中心的UTHealth评估团队很荣幸与EITP-Shir的中心工作人员合作。”beplay苹果手机能用吗

使用毒品之前或期间性,或chemsex,is a public health concern and is most common among men who have sex with men. Gay/bi men and transgender women who engage in chemsex are more likely to be in situations that increase the risk of HIV transmission than persons not engaging in chemsex. An exciting and innovative aspect of the EITP-SHIR program is the focus on working with clients to identify new strategies for experiencing sexual pleasure while minimizing behaviors that might increase exposure to HIV or other health concerns.

The EITP-SHIR program uses an assessment of each client’s sexual health alongside the Integrated Treatment Program (ITP) to provide a tailored treatment plan. The ITP consists of several treatment formats, including:

  1. An intensive outpatient program format plus individual therapy and case management,
  2. 支持预防复发以及个体疗法和病例管理的支持性门诊计划,
  3. Individual therapy plus case management.

The EITP-SHIR team developed a sexual health curriculum intended to improve Montrose Center staff competency and the delivery of services to better meet the needs of clients presenting with chemsex behaviors. The Center’s staff have received training on the sexual health curriculum, program implementation, data collection, and process and outcome evaluation. Key findings from the evaluation of the program indicate that Center staff are culturally competent and fully implement the evidence-based practices.

该项目由药物滥用和心理健康服务管理局(SAMHSA)资助。威尔克森正在领导计划评估。
