What the study is about

The goal of this combination Type 1 hybrid and observational study is to evaluate the impact of a peer delivered intervention of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) + exercise + social support to address the substance (ab)use, violence, and AIDS/HIV (SAVA) to improve medication adherence for women living with HIV (WLWH). This intervention will be implemented by community based organizations that focus on WLWH across four counties. The main question it aims to answer are:

  • Will peer provision of ACT, exercise, and social support improve medication adherence for WLWH?
  • Will community based organizations be able to sustain the intervention after research is completed, and what changes will need to be made to sustain the intervention.

Being studied: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Body weight circuit training; Empathetic social support; Control - list of resources

Conditions: HIV Infections; Substance Use; Trauma; Medication Adherence
