Patterns of alcohol use and associated characteristics and HIV-related outcomes among a sample of African-American women living with HIV.
The authors used baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of an HIV-related stigma-reduction intervention among African-American women living with HIV in Chicago and Birmingham. They measured patterns of alcohol use, then assessed demographic, social, and clinical characteristics which may influence alcohol use and HIV-related outcomes which may be influenced by patterns of alcohol use. Their findings suggest that alcohol use is common and associated with poor HIV-related outcomes in this population. They recommended that regular alcohol screening and intervention be offered.
