Suubi4Stigma: Addressing HIV-Associated Stigma Among Adolescents
REFNo: SS632ES
Suubi4Stigma will address the urgent need for theoretically and empirically informed interventions that seek to reduce HIV/AIDS-associated stigma and its negative impact on child health and psychosocial well-being. Specifically, the proposed study will examine two evidence-based interventions used in mental health settings, schools, and communities: 1) group cognitive behavior therapy (G-CBT) focused on cognitive restructuring and strengthening coping skills at the individual level; and 2) a multiple family group (MFG) intervention that strengthens family relationships to address stigma among CLWH and their families.
Aim 1: Pilot test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of innovative G-CBT and MFG on reducing HIV/AIDS-associated (internalized and family-level) stigma and its’ impact on youth and family-level outcomes (stigma, trauma symptoms, depression, sexual risk, family/social support and adherence to medication) compared to: 1a) usual care vs G-CBT; b) Usual care vs MFG; c) G-CBT vs. MFG;
Aim 2: Qualitatively examine participants’ and facilitators’ intervention experiences and identify individual, family and institutional-level facilitators and barriers to G-CBT and MFG intervention implementation and participation.
