The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,300,224 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct the "HOMELINK2: Reducing Posthospitalization Mortality Among People Living with HIV through Structured Home Care and Nutritional Supplementation" research project. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a refined "HOMELINK2" intervention that provides structured post-hospitalization home visits with psychosocial counseling and nutritional supplementation to reduce mortality rates among people living with HIV in South Africa. The study will compare usual care to the HOMELINK2 intervention, assess its implementation feasibility and cost-effectiveness, and examine underlying mechanisms driving mortality reduction. Findings from this fully powered, randomized trial aim to generate actionable knowledge to improve outcomes for people living with HIV and support the scale-up of effective interventions to control the HIV epidemic in low- and middle-income settings.
