Study Overview
Brief Summary
The Spanish language Healthy Choices intervention pilot study (N=45) holds direct relevance to the United States and federal priorities related to improving HIV outcomes to reduce transmission using implementation science models. If Healthy Choices is found to have a clinical signal of impact, our team is committed to testing the intervention in the United States and training Spanish speaking HIV care navigators on the intervention, specifically in the southern United States where Spanish speaking populations are concentrated, namely in Alabama, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida.
Detailed Description
Three specific aims will guide this work. Aim 1: Elucidate barriers and implementation strategies for the Healthy Choices intervention. Aim 2: Adapt and contextually translate the Healthy Choices intervention for Spanish contexts. Aim 3: Pilot test Healthy Choices with implementation strategies for feasibility and acceptability (N=45). By testing Healthy Choices in the Dominican Republic, we can move quickly with recruitment, ultimately maximizing benefit to Americans. If this study is successful and Healthy Choices is feasible and acceptable, we will have the preliminary data necessary for a full-scale hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled clinical trial of the Spanish language Healthy Choices intervention that can be tested in Spanish speaking communities in the United States. This record is for the scientific work detailed in Aim 3, specifically the 2:1 allocation pilot randomized controlled trial.
