NOLA GEM: Feasibility and Acceptability of an MHealth Intervention for Violence-affected PLWH

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV, Mental Health, Substance Use

In brief

The objective of the proposed research is to conduct formative work to develop, pilot and refine a smartphone delivered intervention for violence affected people living with HIV utilizing a novel spatial-temporal methodology, geographical ecological momentary assessment (GEMA), to first identify the activity spaces and daily psychosocial experiences (mental health symptoms, substance use, self-efficacy, coping) impacting adherence and viral suppression, and apply them to intervention. Guided by an ecological perspective, the investigators will adapt Living in the Face of Trauma to a mobile platform with GEMA informed intervention targets. The resulting app shall be referred to as NOLA GEM. Our long-term goal is delivering accessible interventions informed by daily experiences that affect health for PLWH. The investigators will test feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the GEMA-informed NOLA GEM app against GEMA alone on adherence and care, and secondary outcomes of mental health and substance use.
