Interventions

  • Stigma reduction intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    Care providers will complete the Stigma Reduction Intervention curriculum. The intervention is a multi-day stigma reduction training program for providers. Content design is greatly informed by materials developed in our pilot R34 study, and which may be modified prior to the intervention if the team gains new insights from the baseline round of unannounced visits and each of the two CABs. Briefly, the intervention consists of both didactic and experiential learning components. Didactic sessions include instruction on syphilis epidemiology, clinical management, and public health significance. Experiential sessions include discussion sessions that are facilitated by pre-recorded videos, followed by role play with trained SPs.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a training program to reduce intersectional stigma faced by sexual minorities and people living with HIV (PLWH) in healthcare settings. The study participants are medical providers (i.e. physicians) specializing in sexual health medicine in Vietnam.
