Outline Background Methodology Results Conclusions and Next steps

Background – Ukraine The second-highest HIV prevalence rate in Eastern Europe 238,000 PLHIV (2016)1 Key populations – HIV prevalence2 (IBBSs 2015): PWID - 21.9%; FSW - 7.0%; MSM - 8.5%.

Background (cont.) Potential financial reduction of the international donors’ support for OST programs The state financing of OST (and other) programs in Ukraine complicated by economic crisis. Building and piloting a sustainable model for the provision of critical services to KPs and PLHIV at the rayon/city level. The implementation of the alternative financing models such as co-payment is optimal way to secure critical for PWIDs services. Piloting - in each of the 7 targeted oblasts Russian annexation of Crimea Crisis in eastern Ukraine Economic crisis (Hryvnia devaluation)

Financial devaluation of hryvnia (in more than 3 times!) Are there willingness and ability of current OST clients to pay for some OST services? Rhetorical question! Financial devaluation of hryvnia (in more than 3 times!) Financial devaluation of hryvnia (in more than 3 times!)

Odesa region One of the highest HIV burden in Ukraine Concentrated HIV epidemic Key populations - HIV prevalence1 (IBBSs 2015): PWID - 27.5%; FSW - 9.5%; MSM - 12%. KPs size estimation1: Odesa The international donors’ support of OST programs for PWIDs are currently in the process of financing reduction. The economic crisis in Ukraine complicated the nationwide state financing of OST programs in Ukraine.

Methodology Study design: cross-sectional Study timeframe: summer 2016 Study population: current OST clients in Odesa city Random sampling strategy Structured questionnaire Univariate and bivariate analysis (to estimate correlates of clients’ willingness to pay for some OST services)

Results – Basic characteristics Study sample (current OST clients), N=161 Sex: male, % 77.6 Average age, years (SD) % before 25 years 41.98 (8.0) 0.6 Marital status: not married (single), % 49.7 Education: secondary, % 66.5 Regular employees, % 29.2 Income medium/not rich (self-reporting), % 43 Salary as a main source of income, % 57 OST duration (more than 12 months), % 73.9 A total of 161 clients of OST programs (125 (77.6%) males and 36 (22.4%) females) were interviewed. The average age of the respondents was 41.98 years (SD=8.0). 66.5% of interviewed OST clients in Odesa city had a secondary education and 14.9% had a higher education. Half of the respondents (49.7%) had a single marital status. 74% of respondents uptake OST program for more than 12 months.

Results – Willingness to pay Study sample (current OST clients), N=161 Perceived benefits: “possibility to uptake additional medical care at OST site”, health improvement, reducing financial burden Correlates P-value income per family member 0.009 self-assessment of financial well-being 0.008 perceived social support 0.014 <200 UAH (89.5%), 200-500 UAH (9.8%), 2001-3000 UAH (0.7%) Overall 89% of respondents (n=143) demonstrate willingness to pay for some OST services in Odesa. The willingness to co-pay for some OST services is higher among clients listed “possibility to uptake additional medical care at OST site” as personal benefit of OST participation. The willingness is also correlated with income per family member (p=0.009), self-assessment of financial well-being (p=0.008) and perceived social support (p=0.014).

For what OST clients are ready to pay Study sample (current OST clients), N=161 To receive therapy (drugs) for a few days, % 80 To take therapy (drugs) at the nearest HC facility for a few days, % 65 Anonymous, % 41 To buy drugs in the pharmacy, % 35 To increase daily dose, % 24 To replace methadone, % 18 Overall 89% of respondents (n=143) demonstrate willingness to pay for some OST services in Odesa. The willingness to co-pay for some OST services is higher among clients listed “possibility to uptake additional medical care at OST site” as personal benefit of OST participation.

Conclusions Clients of OST program in Odesa region demonstrated willingness and ability to pay for some OST services despite on economic crisis in the country. 200 UAH is the modal amount per month. Their willingness depends on socio-economic status of PWID and his/her family. These important correlates of willingness and ability to pay should be considered for design and implementing OST co-payment service delivery model in Odesa region.

Next steps OST costing per patient per month (regional-sensitive methodology) Developing alternative OST co-payment models Policy development on OST co-payment models Introducing an alternative models in the region.
