Impact of Representative Payee Services on ART Adherence Among Marginalized People Living With HIV/AIDS

CCRP is a structural intervention wherein Social Security authorizes a representative payee to serve as financial manager for people who need help managing their money. By helping clients to consistently pay their bills including rents and utilities, CCRP may redirect the expenditure of participants' resources toward improved health behaviors. Shifting the focus of material and biopsychosocial resources may change the context in which health behaviors are produced, contributing to higher rates of adherence and viral suppression. CCRP modifies the implementation of a current policy of the Social Security Administration (SSA) to create an intervention that is highly replicable.
