Implementation of collaborative care for depression in VA HIV clinics: Translating Initiatives for Depression into Effective Solutions (HITIDES): protocol for a cluster-randomized type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Depression is the most diagnosed mental health condition among people living with HIV. Collaborative care is an effective intervention for depression, typically delivered in primary care settings. The HIV Translating Initiatives for Depression into Effective Solutions (HITIDES) clinical intervention involves a depression care team housed off-site that supports depression care delivery by HIV care providers. In a randomized controlled trial, HITIDES significantly improved depression symptoms for veterans living with HIV and delivered cost savings. However, no HIV clinics in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) have implemented HITIDES; as such, it is unclear what implementation strategies are necessary to launch and sustain this intervention.
