Conditions
Summary
The scope of this study is to engage Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funded organizations in the South/East US to co-develop context-responsive programs utilizing evidence-informed interventions to reduce stigma against living with HIV (PLH) who have difficulties accessing and remaining engaged in life-saving treatment. Five RWHAP clinics will be selected for this trial. Clinic members will participate in interactive trainings to raise awareness of and reduce stigma, from the clinic policy level to individual attitudes. Clinic members and select patients will complete self-administered surveys every 6 months over 24 months.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Selected Ryan White Clinics. Selection based on the following:
- First, clinic leaders will complete a 15-min Site Characteristics Survey, assessing suitability for participation and clinic comparability. Staff and leadership at Ryan White clinics will next complete an anonymous 15-minute Eligibility Survey.
- Within each clinic, both clinic staff and patients will be invited to participate.
Exclusion Criteria3
- Non-Ryan White Clinics
- Clinics not located in the geographical area of interest
- Clinics that are not interested in participating
Interventions
The HP+ curriculum includes total-site training and co-facilitation via participatory modules. To change clinic culture, a multi-level approach that includes the whole facility and reaches all parties is required. The intervention aims to modify top-down mechanisms of influence. The training is modeled on these principles and supports the development of multiple stigma-reduction strategies to improve patient and staff wellbeing.
