| Abstract: | We aimed to examine the mediating role of alcohol use in the pathway from the interventions to depression and anxiety symptoms using data from a randomized controlled trial among people living with HIV (PWH) with hazardous alcohol use (n = 440) in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. Participants were randomized into either a combined intervention (CoI), a brief intervention (BI) and a standard of care arm. Both interventions were based on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement therapy. Alcohol use was measured as the percentage of days abstinent from alcohol in the last 30 days. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scales. Alcohol use was a significant mediator of the effects of two alcohol interventions on depression symptoms, but not anxiety symptoms. There were significant indirect effects via alcohol use of both interventions on depression symptoms at 12 months (CoI: mean difference (MD) = −0.134; 95%CI: −0.251, −0.035); (BI: MD = −0.141; 95%CI: −0.261, −0.038). There were no significant direct or total effects of the interventions on either symptoms at 12 months. Interventions with a dual focus on mental health and alcohol disorders are needed to determine optimal ways to tackle these common comorbidities among PWH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
