POL and Access Intervention to Reduce HIV Stigma Among Service Providers in China

CompletedNA

Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles

Conditions: HIV-related Stigma, Patient Satisfaction, Provider-patient Interaction

Interventions: Cognitive behavioral sessions

Countries: United States

In this project, UCLA's Center for Community Health (CCH) will develop an efficacious intervention trial integrating both individual and structural components to reduce HIV- related stigma among service providers in China and therefore benefit people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The purpose of this study is to develop a feasible, practical and low cost intervention strategy that will prevent and/or reduce the negative effects of HIV-related stigma among health service providers in China. This project will be conducted in two provinces and proceed in two phases. In Phase 1, confidential focus groups will take place with small samples of service providers and hospital administrators to finalize the intervention activities, and the investigators will also test and finalize the Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) assessment measures and implementation procedures with the same group of service providers. During Phase 1 a small sample of patients will anonymously test the paper-pencil baseline survey. Equal number of samples will be selected from two counties of each province. The findings from Phase 1 will be used to develop intervention, and revise assessment for Phase 2.
