Not one more (Co-PIs: Arayasirikul, Wilson, Jackson)
This study will investigate the social etiology, root causes, and underlying mechanisms of intersectional violence—the product of systemic racism and transphobia—that trans women of color face. We will use mobile health technology to measure, characterize, and visualize the magnitude and types of intersectional violence that trans women of color face in San Francisco. We will develop measures of intersectional violence at the intersection of transphobia, misogyny, cissexism, and racism; examine dominant narratives, logics, and ideologies that anchor cisgender people’s complicity in and their perpetuation of systemic transphobia and racism; characterize intersectional violence situated in social context, place, and time, using ecological momentary assessments (EMAs); and assess the impact of a data democratization-centered model of grassroots mobilization and accountability for community organizing and agenda setting to engage systems stakeholders in San Francisco in timely, contextual, localized solutions that increase protections for trans women of color.
SHINE Strong (Co-PIs: Arayasirikul & McFArland)
SHINE Strong is a year-long training program for undergraduates interested in developing expertise in HIV prevention science and trans and nonbinary population health research. SHINE Strong Scholars are paired with a mentor and will participate remotely in a 12-week summer intensive internship, connect with trans and nonbinary change agents, and complete a mentored research project.
ONE BALLROOM (PI: Arayasirikul)
One Ballroom is a national mixed methods longitudinal population-based study of intersectional HIV stigma, and HIV prevention and care among sexual and gender minorities of color (SGMoC) in the House and Ballroom Community (HBC). This study is the first step in a program of research that will lead to a stigma reduction intervention. It will include a 3-year longitudinal qualitative phase, a 12-month longitudinal social epidemiologic phase, and an intensive longitudinal ecological momentary assessment phase.
Health enav (PI: Arayasirikul)
Health eNav is a 6-month, digital HIV care navigation intervention leveraging SMS text messaging to provide digital HIV care navigation services to young people living with HIV. Participants are connected to their own digital HIV care navigator and receive the following components: (1) digital HIV care navigation and (2) ecological momentary assessments. Through the use of digital technology, Health eNav extends supportive care structures beyond clinic walls at times when youth and young adults living with HIV who are newly diagnosed, not linked to care, out of care, and not virally suppressed need support the most. Health eNav is an engagement and retention-in-HIV-care intervention, aimed at addressing critical gaps and barriers to successfully identifying, linking, engaging, and retaining youth and young adults living with HIV in medical care. The goal of Health eNav is to improve outcomes across the HIV care continuum, specifically retention in HIV care, ART initiation, and viral suppression.
MSN: mobile systems navigation (Co-pis: wilson & arayasirikul)
In this implementation science, developmental intervention pilot study, we will pilot a task-shifting, digital health, navigation intervention using text messaging, ecological momentary assessments, and motivational interviewing for trans women living with HIV. This study will establish the foundation for the development of a next-generation intervention to better engage trans women living with HIV to address their substance use and mental healthcare needs.
