This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $311,179 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to develop a telehealth intervention to increase surgical preparedness among Latina patients undergoing urogynecologic procedures.

The project, titled "A Telehealth Intervention to Increase Patient Preparedness for Surgery in Latinas", aims to use human-centered design and implementation science methods to create a culturally appropriate, language-sensitive, and sustainable intervention (TIPPS-Latina) that can improve surgical outcomes for this underserved population. The award will support the principal investigator, Dr. Gabriela E. Halder, in acquiring proficiency in these methods, as well as developing expertise in health equity research and strengthening her research leadership skills. The expected outcome is to provide a foundation for a future randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of the TIPPS-Latina intervention and facilitate Dr. Halder's transition to research independence.
