Training future researchers to address social factors affecting HIV care
Training Program in Approaches to Address Social-Structural Factors Related to HIV Intersectionally (TASHI)
This study is all about helping researchers learn how to tackle the social issues, like racism and gender violence, that make it harder for people to get the HIV care they need, so they can come up with better solutions for communities that are often left behind.

What this research studies
This program focuses on training researchers to understand and address the social and structural factors that impact access to HIV prevention and treatment. It aims to equip participants with the skills to study issues like structural racism and gender-based violence, which can hinder effective healthcare delivery. By emphasizing an intersectional approach, the program seeks to develop interventions that promote health equity for marginalized communities affected by HIV. Participants will engage in community-based research to create real-world solutions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals from marginalized communities disproportionately affected by HIV, including those facing structural barriers.
Not a fit: Patients who are not affected by HIV or do not face significant social-structural barriers may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved access to HIV prevention and treatment for marginalized populations.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that addressing social determinants can significantly improve health outcomes in HIV care, indicating a promising approach.
