PROJECT SUMMARY In the US, women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) are less likely to be adherent to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and virally suppressed compared to men living with HIV/AIDS. Concurrently, WLHA experience high rates of interpersonal violence – physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse in adulthood – which often results in trauma (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) and other adverse mental health, further contributing to ART non-adherence. Additionally, the confluence of syndemic adverse mental health, substance use, and socio-structural factors (e.g., HIV stigma, medical mistrust) further contribute to poor HIV outcomes. Social support through peer navigation and networks has been shown to counter these effects and improve HIV outcomes among WLHA. Likewise, psychoeducation addressing affective distress to improve mood and emotion management and relationship skills has been shown to reduce PTSD and depression. However, limited resources at HIV service agencies combined with socio-structural barriers (e.g., lack of transportation, competing priorities) impede the potential effectiveness of in-person peer navigation. A scalable and sustainable solution is the use of technology in the form of web-based video interaction. To that end, we developed and pilot tested a 4-month web-based, trauma-informed peer navigation-psychoeducation social support intervention among WLHA affected by interpersonal violence and syndemic adverse mental health and/or substance use. We demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, preliminary improvements in ART adherence, PTSD symptoms, coping self-efficacy, and social support. Building on these promising pilot findings, we propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial of Women SHINE to improve ART adherence among WLHA affected by adulthood interpersonal violence in California. Participants will be randomized to either: a) the intervention arm (n=180) where women will receive a 4-month program comprised of video-based peer navigation support via one-on-one sessions and 7 psychoeducation weekly support group sessions, and access to a static Women SHINE website with statewide resources for HIV care, interpersonal violence, trauma, mental health, and substance use; or b) the control arm (n=180) where women will receive a single group session on self-care and well-being, with access to the static Women SHINE website. Women will complete video-based survey assessments and mailed hair sample self-collection at baseline, 4-, 8-, and 12- months post-randomization. Compared to the control arm, we will determine if Women SHINE is associated with improvements in ART adherence (Aim 1) and PTSD symptoms and emotion regulation (Aim 2). We will also examine individual (e.g., self-efficacy for coping, social support networks) and socio-structural (e.g., HIV stigma, medical mistrust) mechanisms of change in the efficacy of Women SHINE (Aim 3). If efficacious, we will conduct subsequent research to determine effective and feasible methods for intervention implementation nationwide to improve HIV outcomes among WLHA.

项目总结 在美国，艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者(WLHA)不太可能坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART) 与感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的男性相比，病毒受到抑制。同时，WLHA经历了高比率的 人际暴力--成年后的身体、性和/或心理虐待--通常会导致 创伤(如创伤后应激障碍[PTSD])和其他不利的心理健康，进一步促进 艺术不坚持。此外，合并症的不良心理健康、药物使用和 社会结构性因素(如艾滋病毒污名、医疗不信任)进一步导致艾滋病毒结果不佳。社交 通过同行导航和网络的支持已被证明可以对抗这些影响并改善艾滋病毒 WLHA之间的结果。同样，针对情感困扰的心理教育可以改善情绪和 情绪管理和人际关系技巧已被证明可以减少创伤后应激障碍和抑郁。然而， 艾滋病毒服务机构的资源有限，加上社会结构性障碍(例如，缺乏交通， 相互竞争的优先级)阻碍了面对面同行导航的潜在有效性。一个可扩展的 可持续的解决方案是使用基于网络的视频互动形式的技术。为此，我们 开发和试行为期4个月的基于网络、了解创伤信息的同伴导航-心理教育社交 受人际暴力和精神卫生不良影响的WLHA的支持干预 和/或物质使用。我们证明了可行性、可接受性、对ART依从性的初步改进， 创伤后应激障碍症状、应对自我效能感和社会支持。基于这些有希望的试验结果，我们 建议对妇女进行随机对照试验，以提高WLHA对抗逆转录病毒治疗的依从性 在加州受到成年人际暴力的影响。参与者将被随机分为以下两组：a) 干预组(n=180)，妇女将接受由基于视频的同伴组成的为期4个月的计划 通过一对一会议和7次心理教育每周支持小组会议提供导航支持，以及 访问静态的女性闪耀网站，提供全州范围内的艾滋病毒护理、人际暴力、 创伤、精神健康和药物使用；或b)对照手臂(n=180)，在那里妇女将接受 关于自我照顾和幸福的小组会议，可以访问静态的女性闪耀网站。女人会的 完成基于视频的调查评估，并在基线、4-、8-和12-邮寄头发样本自我收集- 随机化后几个月。与控制臂相比，我们将确定女性的光芒是否与 在ART依从性(目标1)和创伤后应激障碍症状和情绪调节(目标2)方面有所改善。我们会 还要检查个人(例如，应对自我效能、社会支持网络)和社会结构(例如，艾滋病毒 耻辱、医疗不信任)改变妇女光辉功效的机制(目标3)。如果有效，我们 将进行后续研究，以确定有效和可行的干预实施方法 在全国范围内改善WLHA中的艾滋病毒结果。
