Coercion or Caring: The Fundamental Paradox for Adherence Interventions for HIV+ People with Mental Illness
2017
To determine if an escalating HIV treatment adherence intervention would be considered by participants from a caring or coercive perspective, perceived coercion was examined in 238 community-based dually diagnosed individuals (HIV+ and a serious mental illness) randomized to a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control group or preventing AIDS through health for HIV+ persons (PATH+) Intervention that increased intervention intensity when adherence fell below 80 %. Minor differences were observed in perceived coercion between the PATH+ Intervention and Control groups with perceived coercion marginally higher in the PATH+ group. Latent growth curve analyses indicate that perceived coercion was not related to duration of the intervention for either the PATH+ or Control group. The experience of coercion by HIV+ individuals receiving community-based mental health services was not related to the intensity or duration of delivered services.
