In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Training for HIV care providers (effect on provider outcomes) for HIV. Completed, enrolled 382 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Gender norms embedded in the health-system and broader community shape patient-provider relationships in ways that may undermine the provision of antiretroviral treatment (ART) counseling for men and women in Uganda. This study seeks to develop and evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of an innovative gender transformative implementation strategy to improve HIV provider capacity for equitable HIV care and ART adherence counseling.

Timeline
Interventions
This training program integrates evidence-based strategies to reduce provider bias, adapted to address gender bias in the context of HIV care in Uganda. The content aims to increase providers' knowledge, motivation, skills, and empathy to equitably deliver Ugandan Ministry of Health ART program guidelines to male and female patients (e.g., increasing awareness of HIV gender disparities, increasing empathy/skills to counsel men and women's gendered barriers to care, promoting shared decision-making). The intervention is delivered in a series of group training sessions with HIV providers.
