Assessing HIV-related stigma in the clinical setting
Rebecca Fisk-Hoffman, Aislinn Woody et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024
HIV-related stigma is a key contributor to poor HIV-related health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to explore implementing a stigma measure into routine HIV care focusing on the 10-item Medical Monitoring Project measure as a proposed measure. Healthcare providers engaged in HIV-related care in Florida were recruited. Participants completed an interview about their perceptions of measures to assess stigma during clinical care. The analysis…

Open AccessRenessa Williams, Veronica L Richards et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2023
The purpose of this study is to describe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related stigma and strategies to reduce it in Florida within the context of the social ecological model (SEM). Qualitative surveys were distributed at community events, advisory meetings, and conferences via electronic and paper-based methods to persons living with and without HIV over an 8-month period in 2018. A directed content analysis was used to code the responses o…

Prevalence of HIV-related stigma in adults living with HIV & disability in Florida, 2015–2016
Renessa Williams, Babette Brumback et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022
Using data collected from the Florida Medical Monitoring Project, we sought to compare the prevalence of overall HIV-related stigma, including its subdimensions among persons with HIV and disability(s) and persons with HIV without disability in Florida. Disability was classified as having difficulty in one or more areas: activity limitations, participation restrictions, and functional or sensory activities. HIV-related stigma was assessed using t…

Negative Consequences of Alcohol Use among People Living with HIV
Rebecca Fisk-Hoffman, Veronica L Richards et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2021
Introduction: Among people living with HIV (PLWH), alcohol use can have negative impacts beyond HIV-related outcomes. The objectives of this study are to identify the most common alcohol-related consequences among PLWH in Florida and describe factors associated with experiencing more alcohol-related consequences. Methods: Data were collected from PLWH in the Florida Cohort study who drank at least monthly in the past year (n=397). Self-reported c…
The Florida Cohort study
Gladys E Ibañez, Zhi Zhou et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
In 2013, Florida had the highest rate of new HIV infections and only 56% of persons living with HIV (PLWH) were virally suppressed. In response, we initiated a new HIV cohort in Florida to better understand issues affecting HIV health outcomes. This manuscript will describe the procedures of the Florida Cohort; summarize information regarding enrollment, follow-up, and findings to date; and discuss challenges and lessons learned during the establ…
Recruitment, experience, and retention among women with HIV and hazardous drinking participating in a clinical trial
Open AccessShantrel Canidate, Santos Guerra et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020
Recruiting and retaining women with HIV in alcohol intervention research remains a challenge. Findings from this study suggest that women with HIV who are hazardous drinkers may benefit from participating in research studies that could help them to reduce or quit their drinking, increase their knowledge about specific behavior changes, and earn monetary compensation. Also, positive staff interactions may be instrumental in retaining minority wome…
The relationship between individual characteristics and HIV-related stigma in adults living with HIV
Open AccessRenessa Williams, Robert L Cook et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020
The implications of these findings reveal that certain individuals are more vulnerable to stigma. Researchers could consider distinct stigma interventions strategies based on the characteristics of specific individuals (i.e., targeting depression, disability, sexual orientation, avoidant coping, racial/ethnic groups, and youth) in Florida

Research participation, trust, and fair compensation among people living with and without HIV in Florida
Christa Cook, Jasmine A Mack et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018
Florida has the second highest number of newly diagnosed cases of HIV in the United States. Sociodemographic representation that is reflective of the population is essential in developing evidence based interventions to improve HIV outcomes and reduce disparities. Understanding HIV research trial participation, preferences for types of research, and fair compensation for research will further our understanding of someone's decision to participate…
Perceived benefits and negative consequences of alcohol consumption in women living with HIV
Open AccessRobert L Cook, Christa Cook et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016
Many women living with HIV are drinking alcohol in order to self-manage pain or emotions, and their perceived consequences from drinking extend beyond HIV-specific medical issues. Most participants described themes related to psychological issues and situations that are common in women living with HIV. Interventions to address drinking should inquire more specifically about drinking to manage pain or emotion, and help women to recognize the poten…
Women's Experiences in a Community-Based Participatory Research Randomized Controlled Trial
Open AccessShawn M Kneipp, Barbara J Lutz et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2013Citada por: 2Referencias: 34
Integrating community-based participatory research (CBPR) into traditional study designs can enhance outcomes in studies with disadvantaged groups. Little is known, however, about study participants' experiences with these approaches, the underlying processes involved in creating more positive outcomes, and whether undesirable effects on study outcomes occur simultaneously. We conducted focus group interviews with 31 disadvantaged women who parti…
