Improving Mental Health and Engagement in Care Among People with HIV - Evaluation Provider: This initiative has the following three objectives: • Objective 1: Support a national cohort of implementation sites to adapt and implement culturally responsive interventions to engage and retain people with co-occurring HIV and mental health conditions in HIV primary care and mental health services. • Objective 2: Evaluate the implementation of interventions using implementation science frameworks. The EP will document and share evaluation findings throughout the initiative to support successful implementation. The evaluation will assess: ? Intervention adaptations. ? Barriers and facilitators to implementation. ? Implementation strategies. ? Cost. ? Other implementation, client, and service outcomes. • Objective 3: Create and disseminate user-friendly multimedia materials to support other RWHAP organizations in replicating effective interventions. This RWHAP SPNS initiative funds one ITAP and one EP. The ITAP is funded separately under a companion NOFO. The ITAP and EP are required to co-lead the initiative. Full information on objectives and requirements can be found in the program objectives and requirements section. This initiative focuses on people with HIV and mental health conditions who are out of care or experiencing barriers to retention in care. You and the ITAP may identify additional priority populations, including those identified by the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) [PDF], when you are selecting the implementation sites. Learnings from this initiative will help the RWHAP determine what intervention strategies work to engage people with HIV in care and improve mental health and HIV outcomes in different settings among different priority populations. The EP and ITAP will document and widely share lessons learned with the RWHAP community and beyond to help other organizations replicate these interventions to improve mental health and quality of life among people with HIV in their own settings.
