A Multicomponent Intervention to Address Gender-based Violence in HIV
April 1, 2024 updated by: Kristi Gamarel, University of Michigan
This project seeks to adapt and pilot a trauma-informed combination intervention named 'Kickin' it with the Gurlz' that was designed with, for, and by transgender women of color to improve HIV prevention continuum outcomes.
The intervention components include a violence and gender affirmation screening tool, a peer-led adaptation of Seeking Safety, and individual-level peer navigation sessions.
We will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary promise of the multicomponent by conducting a one-arm pilot with 30 transgender women of color who have a history of trauma.
Participants will complete baseline, immediate post-intervention, and 3-month follow up assessments.

Detailed Description
This project seeks to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the trauma-informed combination prevention intervention to improve HIV prevention continuum outcomes including the development of community-informed strategies for subsequent RCTs.
We will conduct a one-arm pilot of the adapted multicomponent trauma-informed intervention named "Kickin it with the Gurlz."
We will collect feasibility and acceptability data related to identifying, recruiting, enrolling, intervening with, and retaining participants (i.e.
recruitment length, screening procedures, feasibility of conducting sessions, intervention acceptability, retention rates, feasibility of verifying self-reported and medical chart review data on PrEP use, and exit interviews with participants and staff at program conclusion).
We will recruit 30 participants into the pilot study.
Participants will complete baseline, end of program, and 3-month post-intervention follow-up surveys.
Exit interviews and interviews with key stakeholders will identify strategies for implementing trauma-informed HIV prevention efficacy trials with transgender women of color within close-knit communities, such as acceptable and feasible control conditions, acceptable and feasible violence and gender affirmation screening, biomedical confirmation methods, contamination concerns, and potential changes needed within existing health care systems.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Acceptability Qualitative
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Qualitative Exit Interviews where more than 80% of participants deem intervention acceptable
|
3 months

Acceptability Quantitative
Time Frame: 3 months

The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) will be used to assess intervention satisfaction.
This is an 8-item scale where each individual item is scored separately with a range of 1 to 4 and a score of 3 or 4 on each item will be considered indicative of acceptable.
