What this research studies
This research investigates how violence, including intimate partner violence and child abuse, affects the engagement of people living with HIV in care programs. It aims to identify the most common forms of violence experienced by these individuals and how these experiences impact their retention in HIV care. By assessing the relationship between violence and HIV care outcomes, the study seeks to inform Ryan White-funded clinics on prioritizing violence screening and support services for their patients. The ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes for people living with HIV in the Southeastern United States.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV, particularly those who have experienced violence or abuse.
Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV or who have not experienced any form of violence may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved screening and support for individuals living with HIV, enhancing their engagement in care and overall health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown that addressing social determinants like violence can significantly improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations, indicating a promising approach.
