What this research studies
Many Caribbean-born individuals living with HIV in the U.S. face challenges like delayed diagnosis, interrupted care, and stigma, which make it hard to manage their health. We want to understand these unique challenges and develop a new program to help people stay engaged with their HIV care. This program will be tailored specifically for this community, building on previous work to ensure it meets their needs. Our goal is to create a supportive approach that helps overcome barriers and improves health outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This project is focused on Caribbean-born individuals in the U.S. who are 21 years or older and living with HIV.
Not a fit: Patients who are not Caribbean-born or do not live in the U.S. may not directly benefit from this specific intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to more effective strategies for Caribbean-born individuals with HIV to receive consistent care, improving their health and well-being.
How similar studies have performed: While general engagement interventions exist, this project is developing the first evidence-based strategy specifically for Caribbean-born individuals with HIV in the U.S., adapting a model that has shown promise in other settings.
