Integrating Addiction Treatment and HIV Services Into Primary Care Clinics in Ukraine (IMPACT)

August 28, 2026 updated by: Yale University

A randomized controlled trial to:

  1. To compare both primary (composite quality health indicator (QHI) scores) and secondary (individual HIV/methadone maintenance treatment (MMT)/TB/primary care QHI scores, quality of life, and stigma) outcomes in an anticipated 1,350 people who inject drugs (PWID) receiving MMT from 13 regions (clusters) and 39 clinical settings using a stratified, phase-in, controlled design over 24 months. After stratifying PWIDs based on their current receipt of MMT, they will be randomized to receive MMT in specialty addiction clinics (N=450) or in an ECHO-IC/QI-enhanced primary care clinic with (N=450) or without (N=450) pay for performance (P4P) incentives.
  2. Using a multi-level implementation science framework, to examine the contribution of client, clinician and organizational factors that contribute to the comprehensive composite (primary outcome) and individual (secondary) QHI scores.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Average Percentage of Recommended Quality Health Indicator Services Accessed by Participants to Assess Efficacy
Time Frame: every 6 months up to 24 months

The total average percentage of the 17 recommended Quality Health Indicator screenings and services that were accessed by participants to assess efficacy. Recommended QHI screenings are as follows: General medical examination; blood analysis; urine analysis; cardiogram; mammogram; cervical cancer screening; prostate cancer screening; hepatitis B screening; hepatitis C screening; HIV screening; CD4 or viral load; ART treatment; TB screening; TB treatment; received take-home MMT; adequate MMT dose; on MMT for 12 months. Data presented here is for adjusted average values of services accessed at 24 months.
