The overall aim of this 3-phase study (the third phase being the clinical trial) is to develop a feasible mental health intervention for CHW delivery during home-based care for people with chronic conditions, including HIV. Investigators will use an existing cadre of CHWs conducting home visits, highlighting the potential for sustainability. Aim 1: To explore barriers and facilitators to implementing a home-based, CHW-delivered intervention for mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, harmful alcohol use) "Khanya-Ekhaya". Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), investigators will accomplish this aim by conducting individual semi-structured interviews with CHWs and other key stakeholders, including CHW supervisors, policymakers, and organizational leaders and patients with mental health problems. Key domains of the interviews include: (a) appropriateness of providing integrated home-based care for mental health among people newly initiating or re-initiating HIV services after ≥3 months; (b) barriers and facilitators to implementing a CHW-delivered intervention for mental health and HIV care engagement in patients' homes, including how to promote feasibility within CHWs' existing roles; (c) training and supervision needs of CHWs, including how to manage risk and support referrals; and (d) adapting existing evidence-based intervention components developed by the research team (problem solving, motivational interviewing, behavioral activation, mindfulness) for CHW home-delivery. Aim 2: To adapt with patients and CHWs a home-based, intervention to improve mental health symptoms and HIV outcomes "Khanya-Ekhaya". Investigators will adapt a home-based CHW intervention ("Khanya-Ekhaya" or "Khanya at home") to address mental health symptoms and improve HIV care engagement based on our formative clinic-based work and training CHWs in reducing mental health stigma refined based on Aim 1 feedback. Adapting the intervention components from clinic-based delivery to CHW home-based delivery will be heavily guided by qualitative analysis in Aim 1. Aim 3 (Clinical Trial). To evaluate the implementation and preliminary effectiveness of a home-based CHW intervention "Khanya-Ekhaya" to reduce mental health symptoms and improve engagement in HIV care. In a pilot Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial, investigators will evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the Khanya-Ekhaya home-delivered CHW intervention. This trial will demonstrate successful training of CHWs, reaching patients of interest, and collecting primary outcomes to inform future work.
