Investigating heart disease in young people living with HIV in Haiti
Preclinical Cardiovascular Disease among Adolescents and Young Adults in Haiti
This study is looking at heart health in young people with HIV in Haiti to find early signs of heart disease and help prevent it, so they can live healthier lives as they get older.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adolescents and young adults living with HIV in Haiti. The project aims to identify early signs of heart disease in these individuals, who may face unique health challenges as they age. By adapting proven health interventions, the research seeks to prevent the onset of CVD and improve health outcomes for this population. The principal investigator, Dr. Lindsey Reif, will also receive training in CVD epidemiology and implementation science to enhance the effectiveness of these interventions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents and young adults living with HIV in Haiti who are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV or who are outside the age range of adolescents and young adults may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to effective strategies for preventing heart disease in young people living with HIV, ultimately improving their long-term health.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in implementing health interventions for adolescents living with HIV, suggesting that this approach could be effective.
