The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) released a new publication titled “Prevention and Treatment of HIV Among People Living with Substance Use and/or Mental Disorders.” The resource guide provides an overview of current approaches and challenges and current evidence on the effectiveness of programs and strategies to prevent HIV in populations with substance use disorders (SUD) or mental illness. The resource also includes guidance for selecting and implementing evidence-based practices, examples of effective programs and strategies, and resources for evaluation and quality improvement.
