He is currently co-leading a multi-study program of research examining the health care needs of people living with HIV who are actively substance using (e.g., using illicit drugs or drinking hazardously) during hospital admissions, with the goal of developing strategies to better support their ability to remain engaged in care, and to promote harm reduction approaches within hospitals. This program of research began during Dr. Guta’s UWW Fellowship. Dr. Guta regularly collaborates with community and clinical partners to design research studies which meet the needs of patients and service users. His research is supported by funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and the National Institutes of Drug Abuse.
