Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: As part of the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Black Women First Initiative, the University of California, San Francisco, Women’s HIV Program implemented the Health, Empowerment, and Recovery Services Plus (HERS+) intensive outpatient program (IOP)—an adapted version of the Matrix Model of IOP—to address substance use among Black women with HIV in a trauma-informed primary care setting. The intervention’s promise was reflected in decreases in recent use of methamphetamine and tobacco; reduced methamphetamine, cannabis, and tobacco involvement; and an increase in social support.
