What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the implementation of effective mental health interventions for individuals living with HIV/AIDS in South Florida, particularly in areas with significant health disparities. It aims to address the barriers to adopting and sustaining evidence-based interventions in community and clinical settings.
