The award funds a pilot study to implement a trauma-informed approach to enhance HIV prevention and care engagement among high-risk populations in community clinics, aiming to improve PrEP uptake and viral suppression through the T-SBIRT intervention.
Description
This project pilots a trauma-informed intervention, T-SBIRT, in community clinics serving populations with high HIV burden. It examines how trauma and mental health affect HIV-related outcomes, assesses clinic readiness to implement T-SBIRT, and evaluates implementation outcomes in a pilot trial. Findings will inform a larger study to scale this approach across multiple clinical settings to improve PrEP uptake, viral suppression, and mental health service engagement.
