The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $126,387 Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to support a study on the effects of neighborhood deprivation, residential relocation, and neighborhood investments on HIV care continuum outcomes among people living with HIV in Baltimore, Maryland.
The 2-year project aims to: 1) describe the association between neighborhood deprivation and retention in care, viral suppression, and mortality; 2) estimate the causal effects of residential stability and relocation on care outcomes; and 3) quantify the impact of public and private neighborhood investments on care outcomes. The study will be nested within the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinical Cohort and utilize various epidemiologic methods, including propensity score matching and comparative interrupted time series analyses. This research is expected to generate evidence to inform clinical care, supportive services, and public policies focused on reducing HIV transmission and improving health equity for people living with HIV.
