https://healthydivas.ucsf.edu/ - Healthy Divas: An Intervention for Trans Women.

The Healthy Divas Learning Center offers guidance on preparing, implementing, and sustaining your Healthy Divas program. This is a status-neutral intervention, welcoming all trans women regardless of HIV status.

Our research demonstrated the short-term efficacy of this urgently needed behavioral intervention in improving HIV prevention and engagement in care among transgender women. The program is now status-neutral, designed to support all trans women, whether or not they are living with HIV.

https://ivy.ucsf.edu/ - The iVY Study: a research project focused on enhancing health and well-being through short video counseling sessions and a mobile health application. Our goal is to make mental health services more accessible and adaptable, particularly for young people living with HIV. Participants can earn up to $470-530. The entire study is done remotely.

The iVY study seeks to investigate the barriers to HIV care engagement that young individuals face and to address these challenges through a technology-based intervention. This intervention includes personalized video counseling sessions and a mobile health app specifically designed for this demographic.

By participating in the iVY study, you will contribute to critical research that leverages innovative technology to improve HIV care and mental health support. Your involvement will help shape the future of HIV care, providing valuable insights into how digital solutions can enhance patient engagement and outcomes.

We invite you to join us in this groundbreaking study and contribute to advancing the field of HIV care and digital health interventions. For more information or to participate, please visit our website https://ivy.ucsf.edu/ (P Saberi, M Johnson, T Neilands, K Ming, C Balaban, L Smith CAPS/PRC)

https://youtu.be/YgKUzJeOIZw - Applying Machine Learning Techniques in Stata to Predict Health Outcomes Using HIV-related Data Rachel Brathwaite, Ph.D.

Dr. Rachel Brathwaite has a Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Population Health from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and a Masters in Applied Epidemiology from the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom. She is interested in conducting epidemiological research focusing on early prevention/intervention to improve vulnerable and marginalized populations' physical and mental health. She has been involved in population health research on modifiable behavioral risk factors among vulnerable populations, harm reduction among marginalized populations, and research to identify and prevent poor mental and physical health among vulnerable youth populations in low- and middle-income countries.

Dr. Brathwaite has experience applying machine learning techniques such as prediction modeling to develop tools that can be used to predict future depression among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries, including Nepal and Nigeria. She has also applied these techniques to predict poor mental health among young people affected by HIV in Uganda and to predict poor adherence among adolescents living with HIV in Uganda. In this talk, she will demonstrate the application of lasso regression in Stata to predict health outcomes using an HIV-related dataset from Uganda.

Dr. Brathwaite is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Brown School’s International Center for Child Health and Development at Washington University in St. Louis.

Transforming HIV Care for Men of Color: Project STYLE 🌟

At AIDS Project of the East Bay (APEB) and the UCSF Prevention Research Center (PRC), we are proud to share our collaborative efforts with Project STYLE. Project STYLE delivers comprehensive services designed to enhance the lives of men of color who have s*x with men (MSM) living with HIV.

Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to engage and retain men in high-quality care that's compassionate and culturally sensitive. We're committed to addressing the unique needs of young African-American gay, bis*xual, and other MSM, through our innovative M+ initiative.

Adaptation and Evaluation
STYLE was adapted following a successful original study by the University of North Carolina. With the expertise of APEB and the UCSF Prevention Research Center, we've tailored the intervention to meet the specific needs of the community, backed by evaluation to ensure its effectiveness.

🔗 A Comprehensive Guide
Our website serves as a comprehensive repository for all stakeholders involved in the journey of care. From HIV testing to referral, and from care to support—everything one needs to know is outlined to guide implementation and amplify impact.
