What this trial studies

This intervention engages Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-funded organizations in the Southern and Eastern United States to co-develop programs aimed at reducing structural racism and discrimination against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) living with HIV and BIPOC healthcare workers. The intervention, known as TRAnscenDS, utilizes evidence-informed strategies to address organizational policies and staff attitudes within selected clinics. Participants will undergo interactive training sessions and complete self-administered surveys every six months over a two-year period to assess the impact of these interventions on healthcare access and patient outcomes.
