Population-Level Portal-Based Anxiety and Depression Screening Perspectives in HIV Care Clinicians: Qualitative Study Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Depression and anxiety are common among people with HIV and are associated with inadequate viral suppression, disease progression, and increased mortality. However, depression and anxiety are underdiagnosed and undertreated in people with HIV owing to inadequate visit time and personnel availability. Conducting population-level depression and anxiety screening via the patient portal is a promising intervention that has not been studied in HIV care settings.

Objective

We aimed to explore facilitators of and barriers to implementing population-level portal-based depression and anxiety screening for people with HIV.

Methods

We conducted semistructured hour-long qualitative interviews based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research with clinicia
