This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $395,496 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029. The award supports a study to explore the relationship between trauma, mental health, and engagement in HIV prevention and care among transgender women, a population disproportionately burdened by HIV. The project aims to: 1) conduct in-depth interviews with 20 transgender women to understand intersectional factors impacting HIV engagement, 2) examine barriers and facilitators to implementing a trauma-informed screening and intervention in 20 community clinics, and 3) pilot test the intervention with 50 transgender women. The findings will inform efforts to improve HIV-related outcomes for this marginalized community through a trauma-informed, intersectional approach.
