Title| Tailoring an Evidence-Based HIV Prevention Intervention for Application with Young ACB Women in Canada HIP Teen Intervention
Years: 2018-2020
Funding: The Ontario HIV/AIDS Treatment Network
This project encompasses the adaptation of the HIPTeens Intervention from the American context to the Ontario context. This intervention engages Black youth in a group-based intervention involving social cognitive theory, role-playing, and popular education-based theatre to facilitate conversations about their service needs, understanding of sexual health, relationships, STIs, disclosure and HIV criminalization, anti-black racism, self-esteem, among other topics. As the first intervention adaptation in Canada that focuses on the health of Black youth, this project has huge implications as it A) it aims to promote sexual health and HIV prevention within priority populations; B) entails the adaptation of an evidence-based intervention that will drive innovative research that addresses the socio-structural and clinical care needs of ACB communities, and support the training of a community of researchers and local youth programmers; and C) ensures the quality, consistency and effectiveness of HIV programs and services by funding the development, uptake, evaluation and integration of evidence-informed initiatives, programs and practices.
