Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
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. Six RWHAP clinics will be selected to participate and be assigned to one of three sequences (two clinics per cluster). All members will complete participate in interactive trainings to raise awareness of and reduce stigma, from the clinic policy level to individual attitudes. All clinic members and select patients will complete self-administered surveys every 6 months over 24 months.

Treatments
Experimental: First Cluster
The intervention will be implemented across three steps with a total of 6 clinics (two clinics per step). The earliest roll-out of the intervention will be at the clinics randomized to Cluster 1.~The intervention consists of a mix of Workshops, Interactive Trainings and Learning Circles (virtual and in-person). In the first workshop, the investigators will present baseline findings to all clinic members to 1) raise awareness for the need for intervention to reduce stigma, 2) facilitate collaborative processes, 3) catalyze change for practice change, to 4) guide the intervention process. This workshop will be followed by a series of interactive trainings covering relevant topics, and the creation of a manual to guide the implementation and sustainability of stigma reduction efforts.
Experimental: Second Cluster
The intervention will be implemented across three steps with a total of 6 clinics (two clinics per step). The earliest roll-out of the intervention will be at the clinics randomized to Cluster 1.~The intervention consists of a mix of Workshops, Interactive Trainings and Learning Circles (virtual and in-person).
