Psychometric Evidence for Chronic Stress Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in African American Adults
Using Dynamic Causal Bayesian Networks to Assess the Role of Patient-Centered Care and Individual-Level Barriers on Viral Suppression Changes Among a Cohort of People with HIV
To assess the impact of changes in barriers to HIV viral suppression and the moderating role of patient-provider relationships, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using dynamic causal Bayesian network analyses on the first two available needs assessments between May 2020 and December 2022 for clients of the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program (RWP) Part A Program. A cohort of 1539 individuals was formed using data from the RWP medical cas…

Fanmi (“My Family”)
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are the epicenter of the global HIV epidemic. The FANMI trial is an unblinded randomized-controlled trial which evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based model of cohort HIV care vs. standard clinic-based care among AGYW living with HIV in Haiti. Participants ages 16-24 years were randomized 1:1 to FANMI vs. standard care. In the FANMI intervention, cohorts of 5-10 participants attended monthly sessi…
Examining the Psychometric Properties of a Revised 40-Item Berger HIV Stigma Scale
Over the past decades, as social contexts and knowledge about HIV have evolved, the conceptualization and understanding of HIV stigma, as well as the measures used to assess it, may have also shifted. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a revised version of the Berger scale which updated language to better capture HIV stigma in the Southern U.S. The revisions were informed by focus group discussions with people with HIV (PW…
Daily Factors Associated with Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Young Latino Sexual Minority Men with HIV
They Think Transgender is Like Something on the Side
Due to multiple minority statuses, transgender women of color are exposed to minority stress through distal (external) stressors from society causing proximal (internal) stress, leading to potentially negative physical and mental health outcomes. Often considered allies to the transgender community, cisgender members of the LGBTQIA+ "community" have historically presented different plights resulting in divergent rights, protections, and societal …
Barriers to Accessing and Engaging in HIV Preventive Care and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Experienced by Transgender Women in Florida
Our analysis revealed interlocking systems of oppression like transphobia, discrimination, and misgendering, which were common barriers experienced by our participants. These synergistically epidemic (i.e., syndemic) barriers contributed to their feelings of being systematically excluded in social spaces, research, public health planning and policies, laws, and social programs related to PrEP. These structural barriers are impediments to HIV prev…
Using Causal Bayesian Networks to Assess the Role of Patient-Centered Care and Psychosocial Factors on Durable HIV Viral Suppression
Assessing the Preliminary Efficacy of a Nonrandomized, Clinic-Based HIV Risk Reduction Pilot Intervention for PrEP-Initiated, Alcohol- and Other Drug-Using Women of Color in Miami, FL
In this paper, we assessed the preliminary efficacy and acceptability of a quasi-experimental, clinic-based sexual risk reduction pilot intervention for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-initiated, alcohol- and other drug-using women of color and explored their self-reported barriers to, and facilitators of, PrEP use. Using a mixed methods design, analyses incorporated pre- and post-intervention study assessment data from 38 women and semi-structur…
Neighborhood cohesion and violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and their relationship to stress, depression, and hypertension
Neighborhood factors have been associated with health outcomes, but this relationship is underexplored in low-income countries like Haiti. We describe perceived neighborhood cohesion and perceived violence using the Neighborhood Collective Efficacy and the City Stress Inventory scores. We hypothesized lower cohesion and higher violence were associated with higher stress, depression, and hypertension. We collected data from a population-based coho…
The relationship between perceived stress and support with blood pressure in urban Haiti
Haiti is a low-income country whose population lives under repeated and chronic stress from multiple natural disasters, civil unrest, and extreme poverty. Stress has been associated with cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, and the impact of stress on blood pressure may be moderated by support. The distribution of stress, support, and their association with blood pressure has not been well described in low-income countries. W…
Clients’ Perspectives on Patient-Centeredness
A qualitative study of antiretroviral therapy adherence interruptions among young Latino men who have sex with men with HIV
Consistent antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is necessary for HIV viral suppression. However, adherence may fluctuate around daily routines and life events, warranting intervention support. We examined reasons for ART adherence interruptions, using in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews, among young (18–34-year-old) Latino men who have sex with men (YLMSM) with HIV. Interviews (n = 24) were guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior,…

Gender differences in the association between childhood sexual abuse and risk behaviors among people living with HIV in Haiti
Research shows that in the Caribbean one-third of people living with HIV continue to engage in unprotected sexual practices. Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and HIV-related risk behaviors have been found to play a contributory role in HIV transmission. We aimed to analyze gender differences in the association between CSA and substance use and sexual risk behaviors among Haitians living with HIV. A total of 276 HIV-positive individuals participated i…

Association between intimate partner violence and HIV status among Haitian Women
The prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among women living in Haiti increased from 25% in 2006-29% in 2012, with escalating reports of crisis in the last several years. We examined the association between IPV and HIV status among these women in Haiti. Participants were drawn from a larger sample of women ( n = 513) with a history of IPV. Women living with HIV ( n = 55) were matched to uninfected women ( n = 110) to form a control group.…

Men don't need to know everything’
Worldwide, women report the need for safe, non-hormonal, woman-initiated methods of family planning. Cervical barriers provide such technology but are under-researched and under-promoted. In the USA, there are few studies of cervical barriers among women at high unmet need for contraception. A feasibility study of the FemCapTM was conducted among US women of Haitian origin. Participants were heterosexual and seeking to avoid pregnancy. At first v…
