Plain-language summary
The main objective of this study is to show that People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) suffering initially from a major depressive disorder, a psychotic disorder and/or had a suicide risk and who received a community-based psychiatric intervention improve sustainably their mental health and are comparable after intervention to a population of PWID free of these disorders in terms of:
* HIV/HCV exposure
* Severity of substance use
* Quality of life This is prospective one-year cohort study comparing 200 PWID diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder with 400 controls (200 PWID living with HIV and 200 PWID non-infected with HIV, both free of a diagnosis of depression, psychosis, suicidal risk at cohort initiation).
Psychiatric intervention includes free psychiatric consultations and medications (issued on CBO sites), support from CBO members for appointments, information, treatment adherence, contact with families and tracing of those lost to follow-up. Target population and controls will also be proposed linkage to care (HIV, methadone) and harm reduction services.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
