Understanding and Intervening With Heavy Drinking Among Patients With HIV and HCV

This intervention consists of an adaptation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinician's Guide (CG; NIAAA, 2007) in conjunction with the previously tested HealthCall smartphone app program (Hasin et al., 2013; Hasin et al., 2014). Participants will complete a brief baseline meeting (\~20 minutes) with a counselor to discuss alcohol use, liver function, and HIV medication adherence. They will track their drinking using HealthCall for 60 days, with brief follow-up meetings with their counselor to check in about their drinking 30 and 60 days later.
