  • Unconditional cash transfers to improve health behaviors among primary care patients

    Open AccessLaura Gibson, Aaron Richterman et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Unconditional cash transfers are a popular poverty reduction approach and may influence behavioral risk factors for chronic disease outcomes through economic and psychological pathways. Few studies have used qualitative interviews to identify the mechanisms through which cash transfers delivered in a health care context might influence the health of people living with chronic diseases in the United States. We conducted a pilot randomized controll…

  • B-Ok

    Aaron Richterman, Tamar Klaiman et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Lack of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and poor retention in care are significant barriers to ending HIV epidemics. Treatment adherence support effectiveness may be constrained by limited understanding of the benefits of ART. We evaluated a visual and tactile tool, the B-OK Bottles (“B-OK”), that incorporates human-centered design and behavioral economics principles and is designed to change and strengthen mental models about HIV. We e…

  • Money, Medicine, and Motherhood

    Open AccessAaron Richterman, Suzanne Desire et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Improving perinatal engagement in HIV care is critical to prevent disease progression and transmission. In Haiti and other low-resource settings, poverty contributes substantially to poor perinatal HIV outcomes. Cash transfers are a promising intervention that may alleviate poverty and improve perinatal HIV outcomes through economic and psychological pathways. To inform the design of an unconditional cash transfer intervention, we conducted semi-…

  • Acceptability, facilitators, and barriers to a hypothetical HIV vaccine in the pre-exposure prophylaxis era

    Aaron Richterman, Caroline O’Brien et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Little is known about the pre-implementation context for a preventive HIV vaccine. We conducted interviews of individuals in Philadelphia recruited at Penn clinics and community-based organizations serving LGBTQ-identifying persons of color who 1) were cisgender men who had sex with men, or were transgender-identified, 2) had a sexually transmitted infection in the last 12 months, or sex with multiple partners within the last two weeks. We assess…

  • Mental Bandwidth is Associated with HIV and Viral Suppression Among Low-Income Women in Philadelphia

    Open AccessAaron Richterman, Nancy Aitcheson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024

    Behavioral economics research suggests poverty may influence behavior by reducing mental bandwidth, increasing future discounting, and increasing risk aversion. It is plausible these decision-making processes are further impaired in the context of HIV or pregnancy. In this cross-sectional study of 86 low-income women in Philadelphia, HIV was associated with lower mental bandwidth (one of two measures) and lower risk aversion. Pregnancy was not as…

  • Barriers and facilitators influencing facility-based childbirth in rural Haiti

    Open AccessMaxi Raymondville, Carly A Rodriguez et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Haiti has the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. Facility-based childbirth is promoted as the standard of care for reducing maternal and neonatal mortality. We conducted a convergent, mixed methods study to assess barriers and facilitators to facility-based childbirth at Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais (HUM) in Mirebalais, Haiti. METHODS: We conducted secondary analyses of a prospective cohort of pregnant…

  • Food insecurity as a risk factor for preterm birth

    Open AccessAaron Richterman, Maxi Raymonville et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Haiti has an estimated neonatal mortality rate of 32/1000 live births, the highest in the Western Hemisphere. Preterm birth and being born small for gestational age (SGA) are major causes of adverse neonatal outcomes worldwide. To reduce preterm birth and infants born SGA, it is important to understand which women are most at risk and how risk varies within countries. There are few studies estimating the prevalence and risk factors …
