Scientifc fndings and policy guidelines recommend integrating HIV and drug addiction prevention and care into communitybased settings. Systematic capacity-building eforts are warranted to provide technical support for community health workers and improve their confdence in the integrated service provision. An intervention trial was conducted between 2018 and 2019 with 120 community health workers (CHW) from 60 communes in Vietnam’s four provinces. The 60 intervention CHW received in-person training to enhance their HIV/addiction-related service knowledge and skills. Online support groups were established between trained CHW and local HIV and addiction specialists. The intervention outcomes were assessed using mixed-efects regression models with the data collected at baseline and every 3 months for 1 year. Adjusted analyses showed that intervention CHW reported a signifcant increase in the interaction with other treatment providers than the control group at 6 months and remained at the 12-month follow-up. The diference in the improvement of confdence in HIV/addictionrelated service delivery between the intervention and control groups was signifcant at 6-month but became insignifcant at the 12-month. Male CHW were more confdent in providing services than female CHW at baseline, and gender diferences in the changing patterns were observed over time. This capacity-building intervention demonstrated promising outcomes on CHW inter-agency collaborations and confdence in service delivery. Gender divides in healthcare professionals should be attended to in future studies
