Interventions

  • All-facility Training — BEHAVIORAL
    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.

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Intervention
    The intervention will be implemented across six months with a total of five clinics. The intervention consists of a series of interactive trainings that cover stigma and health-related topics, such as roots, manifestations, and consequences of stigma in healthcare, history of HIV stigma, and stress and stigma. These will be split across several sessions, depending on clinics' schedules. At the end of the intervention, each clinic will create a Code of Practice that will be formalized into a manual for each clinic, to guide the implementation and sustainability of stigma reduction efforts.
