What this research studies
This research aims to enhance HIV care among Black/African American and Latinx communities by utilizing innovative big data outreach methods. By leveraging de-identified data and advanced digital engagement strategies, the project seeks to identify and enroll individuals living with HIV/AIDS who are often hard to reach. The approach has been informed by successful applications during the COVID-19 pandemic, where similar methods were used to engage high-risk populations. The study will focus on improving health surveillance and interventions through the analysis of community and mobility data.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV/AIDS, particularly those from Black/African American and Latinx backgrounds.
Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV/AIDS or those who do not belong to the targeted communities may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly increase access to HIV care and improve health outcomes for marginalized communities.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using big data outreach methods for engaging high-risk populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating potential for similar success in HIV care.
