COMPREHENSIVE HIGH-IMPACT HIV PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS - BACKGROUND: THE BRONX, THE POOREST BOROUGH IN NEW YORK CITY, (NYC) WITH A MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $38,085, ACCORDING TO THE 2014-2018 US CENSUS. SELF-IDENTIFIED MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM) CONSTITUTED 71.4% OF NEW HIV DIAGNOSIS AMONG NEW YORK CITY MEN, IN 2018. THE LARGEST NUMBER WITHIN THIS GROUP ARE 20-39 YEARS OF AGE . TO REDUCE NEW HIV INFECTIONS, INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, AND REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG BRONX RESIDING BLACK AND LATINO MSM, OUR CDC-MODELED HIGH IMPACT HIV PREVENTION (HIP) PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE RAPID HIV TESTING IN COMMUNITY-SETTINGS, ON-SITE AT THE MONTEFIORE PREVENTION CENTER (MPC), AT OUR FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS AND VIA SELF-TEST HOME KITS (MAILED OR PICKED UP). WE WILL IMMEDIATELY LINK PARTICIPANTS TO MEDICAL CARE AND, PREVENTION AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES (ESS) FOR HIV-POSITIVE AND MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM) AND TRANSGENDER AND/OR GENDER-NON-CONFORMING (TGNB), 13-49 YEARS OLD AND OF COLOR WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OF THE MONTEFIORE HIV PREVENTION PROGRAM, (MHPP). THE MHPP LOCATED IN THE MPC, HAS UTILIZED THEIR PROJECT SPACE TO PROVIDE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES (MOVIE NIGHT, CLOTHING DRIVES, FASHION SHOWS, ETC.) TO ENGAGE HARD TO REACH POPULATIONS. OUR TARGET POPULATIONS ARE BLACK AND HISPANIC/LATINX MSM AND TGNB, 13-49 YEARS OLD, RESIDENTS OF NORWOOD, CROTONA-TREMONT, FORDHAM-BRONX PARK, HIGHBRIDGE, MORRISANIA, MORRIS HEIGHTS, MELROSE, WEST FARMS, AND OTHER AREAS OF THE BRONX AND NYC WHERE MSM AND TGNB CONGREGATE. THE BRONX NEIGHBORHOODS MENTIONED HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF HIV DIAGNOSES, AND HIGH RATES OF POVERTY. BRONX-BASED MSM AND TGNB EXPERIENCE SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO PREVENTION, TREATMENT AND CARE, INCLUDING A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF HIV STATUS; AWARENESS OF RISK AND RISK REDUCTION STRATEGIES; NON-DISCLOSURE OF POSITIVE HIV STATUS; MINIMAL ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND CARE; UNSTABLE HOUSING; HOMOPHOBIA; LIMITED EDUCATIONS; HIV AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTIFI CATION RELATED STIGMA; RACISM; FINANCIAL HARDSHIP; AND LACK OF FAMILY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT. THESE EXPERIENCES DE-PRIORITIZE HEALTH AND HEATH CARE AND PREVENT MSM FROM SEEKING AND ACCESSING SERVICES. OBJECTIVES: THE MONTEFIORE HIV PREVENTION PROGRAM (MHPP) PROPOSES THE DELIVERY OF HIGH-IMPACT HIV PREVENTION SERVICES, GOVERNED IN PART BY THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GROUP (CEG) WHO WILL INFORM THE PROGRAM AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF SERVICE DELIVERY FROM PROGRAM PROMOTION MESSAGING TO TARGETING VENUES FOR OUTREACH AND SO FORTH.

BRONX, NY, 10461 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: LARRY BERNSTEIN, MD. CONTACT: MARCY SEDLACEK, PHD., PROJECT DIRECTOR PHONE:718-405-8530 EMAIL MSEDLACE@MONTEFIORE.ORG FUNDING REQUESTED: YEAR 1-$500,000; YEAR 2, YEAR 3 AND YEAR 4- $700,000 INTRODUCTION UNDER THE AUSPICES OF MONTEFIORE MEDICAL CENTER, THE BRONX HEALTH OUTCOMES PROJECT (BHOP) IS A DYNAMIC BRONX-WIDE INITIATIVE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER MAJOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV (PLWH). THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO ENHANCE BHOP'S EFFORTS BY ADOPTING A SYNDEMIC APPROACH TO HIV CARE, FOCUSING ON LINKING AND RETAINING RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS WHO ARE OUT OF CARE OR AT RISK OF BEING LOST TO CARE. BY ADDRESSING INTERCONNECTED EPIDEMICS SUCH AS HIV, MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, THE PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION IN CARE, REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PRIORITY POPULATIONS IN THE BRONX. BHOP GOALS AND OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: 1. IMPROVE VIRAL SUPPRESSION RATES AMONG PRIORITY POPULATIONS TO AN AVERAGE SCORE OF 80%. 2. ENHANCE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUPPORT SERVICES SO THAT 90% OF PEOPLE NEEDING THESE SERVICES BASED ON BHOP ARTAS ARE LINKED TO SUCH CARE THROUGH BHOP BHIP. A. ACHIEVE TREAT-TO-TARGET GOALS FOR 50% OF CLIENTS RECEIVING BHIP INTERVENTION ARM. 3. ADDRESS FOOD INSECURITY, POVERTY, AND IPV AS CRITICAL SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SUCH THAT 85% OF BHOP CLIENTS SHOW IMPROVEMENT IN THEIR NEEDS: A. RECORDED IN Z-CODES BY BHOP STAFF THROUGH ARTAS AND B. AS REPORTED THROUGH CLIENT SURVEYS. 4. REDUCE HIV STIGMA AND INCREASE ENGAGEMENT IN CARE: A. AS REPORTED BY CLIENTS RESPONDING TO BHOP SURVEYS AND B. BASED ON ENGAGEMENT WITH THE HEALTHCARE CAMPAIGN. 5. BUILD A SUSTAINABLE, INTEGRATED CARE MODEL THAT CAN BE REPLICATED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. BHOP WILL IMPLEMENT A COMBINATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED AND EMERGING INTERVENTIONS TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS: 1. ADAPTED ARTAS INTERVENTION: STRENGTHS-BASED, CULTURALLY COMPETENT HIV CARE, INCLUDING LINKAGES TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUPPORT SERVICES. 2. CUSTOMIZED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATION PROJECT (BHIP): SCREENING, REFERRAL, AND TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND SUICIDALITY. 3. HEALTHCARE CAMPAIGN: SOCIAL MEDIA AND PRINT MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO ADDRESS HIV STIGMA AND ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT IN CARE. BHOP IS AN INNOVATIVE SYNDEMIC AND EQUITY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEX HEALTH NEEDS OF KEY POPULATIONS IN THE BRONX, A MAJORITY-MINORITY JURISDICTION CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH POVERTY, HIGH CRIME, AND LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. BHOP AIMS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BY ADDRESSING THE INTERSECTING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, INCLUDING HIV STIGMA, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE (IPV), WHICH EXACERBATE THE HEALTH DISPARITIES FACED BY THE BRONX’S DIVERSE POPULATIONS. THIS PROJECT LEVERAGES EVIDENCE-BASED AND EMERGING EVIDENCE-INFORMED INTERVENTIONS USING HAB’S IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE FRAMEWORK TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE, MULTI-LEVEL EVALUATION STRUCTURE THAT TARGETS THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THE PRIORITY POPULATIONS IDENTIFIED THROUGH OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT. BHOP LEVERAGES A ROBUST EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE COMPOSED OF KEY CLINICAL AND SUPPORT SERVICE PROVIDERS, INCLUDING THE FAMILY IMMUNOLOGY CENTER (FIC), MONTEFIORE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER (MBHC), AND LINCOLN MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CENTER (LMMC). THESE INSTITUTIONS ARE PART OF THE BRONX FAMILY ADOLESCENT AND CHILDREN CONSORTIUM (BFACC), A WELL-ESTABLISHED NETWORK FUNDED BY THE RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PROGRAM (RWHAP) PARTS A, B, AND D. BHOP AIMS TO BUILD ON THIS FOUNDATION, INTEGRATING AND ENHANCING EXISTING SERVICES TO ADDRESS PERSISTENT GAPS IN CARE AND SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV.

MONTEFIORE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING - MONTEFIORE MEDICAL CENTER PROPOSES TO DELIVER MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) TRAINING TO AT LEAST 1,140 FRONT-LINE STAFF SERVING VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS IN THE BRONX AND WESTCHESTER WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF 2.4 MILLION PEOPLE. THERE IS AN ENORMOUS NEED FOR THIS TRAINING AS THE PREVALENCE OF MENTAL DISORDERS IS VERY HIGH IN THIS REGION, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PLETHORA OF MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALTY TREATMENT PROVIDERS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF TREATMENT IS DELIVERED IN PRIMARY CARE SETTINGS WHICH LEADS TO NON-ADHERENCE WITH TREATMENT AND ADVERSE OUTCOMES. CONSEQUENTLY, WE PROPOSE TO: 1) IMPROVE THE CAPABILITY AND KNOWLEDGE OF FRONT-LINE GOVERNMENTAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND MEDICAL STAFF LOCATED IN THE BRONX AND WESTCHESTER TO IDENTIFY EARLY SIGNS OF MILD AND SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS; AND 2) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH MH DISORDERS REFERRED FOR SPECIALTY MH TREATMENT. AS MONTEFIORE AND OUR AFFILIATES CURRENTLY DELIVER 60% OF THE MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THE REGION (AND ARE A NYS-CERTIFIED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER), WE AIM TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS OF REFERRING ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS INTO SPECIALTY MH CLINICS – BOTH MONTEFIORE AND NON-MONTEFIORE TREATMENT PROGRAMS. MONTEFIORE HAS CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN MANAGING THE MENTAL HEALTH REFERRAL PROCESS AS WE CURRENTLY OVERSEE MORE THAN 40,000 REFERRALS ANNUALLY INTO SPECIALTY MH TREATMENT. MHFA IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED CURRICULUM THAT IS LISTED IN SAMHSA’S NATIONAL REGISTRY OF EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES. IT TEACHES PARTICIPANTS HOW TO IDENTIFY, UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND TO SIGNS OF MENTAL ILLNESS. WE PROPOSE TO DELIVER A BLENDED CURRICULUM, WHICH ASSIGNS PARTICIPANTS 2-HOURS OF PRE-WORK, AND THEN 4.5 HOURS OF IN-PERSON CLASSROOM CURRICULUM IN COHORTS OF 10 TRAINEES. ALL TRAINEES WILL RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE UPON COMPLETION (LASTING 3 YEARS), AND ELIGIBLE TRAINEES WILL RECEIVE CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT. MONTEFIORE IS CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN BEGIN DELIVERING THIS TRAINING PRIOR TO MONTH 4 AND MEET THE VOLUME PROJECTIONS SINCE WE HAVE 2 EDUCATORS WHO ARE ALREADY CERTIFIED TO DELIVER MHFA TRAINING. THE FRONT-LINE STAFF TO BE TRAINED INCLUDE MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN MONTEFIORE’S OUTPATIENT CLINICS, SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PERSONNEL, AND GOVERNMENTAL EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE HAVE COMMITMENTS FROM OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO HAVE IDENTIFIED STAFF THAT ARE ELIGIBLE AND INTERESTED IN MHFA TRAINING, WHICH IS WHY WE EXPECT TO EXCEED OUR VOLUME PROJECTIONS. IN ADDITION TO THE MHFA TRAINING, ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AN UPDATED RESOURCE GUIDE THAT DESCRIBES THE PROCEDURES FOR MAKING MH REFERRALS IN THE REGION. GIVEN MONTEFIORE’S EXPERIENCE WITH FEDERAL GRANTS, MONTEFIORE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY DATA ON ATTENDANCE IN TRAINING AND VOLUME OF MH TREATMENT REFERRALS.

FUNDING FROM CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING (CDS) FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THROUGH HRSA WILL ALLOW MMC TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE MONTEFIORE SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM (MSHP), THE LARGEST FULL-SERVICE SCHOOL-BASED NETWORK IN THE COUNTRY. MSHP, FIRST ESTABLISHED IN 1985, PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE AND EVIDENCE-BASED MODEL OF CARE. IT OFFERS COORDINATED PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE TO PUBLIC ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE BRONX AND SOUTHERN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. OVER THE YEARS IT HAS GROWN TO ITS CURRENT 38 HEALTH CENTERS SERVING 99 PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE BRONX AND TWO IN YONKERS (JUST NORTH OF THE). THE MSHP PROVIDES ACCESS TO CARE TO THE ESTIMATED 42,000 THAT ATTEND SCHOOLS SERVED BY OUR SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS. IN 2019, MSHP RECORDED 96,498 PATIENT VISITS. DURING THE NEXT TWO YEARS, DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS IMPACT OF COVID AND SCHOOLS STAYING LARGELY CLOSED, MSHP RECORDED 56,203 VISITS IN 2020 AND 42,230 IN 2021, INCLUDING BOTH VIRTUALLY AND IN-PERSON. MSHP PARTNERS WITH STUDENTS’ PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY PROVIDERS TO TAILOR SERVICES TO THE NEEDS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT. AS STUDENTS IN OUR PROGRAM APPROACH ADOLESCENCE, WE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE AND EMPOWER THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN CARE, CREATING A HEALTHIER SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT. OUR PROPOSED TELEHEALTH CONNECTED CARE (TCC) PROJECT WILL MODERNIZE THE MSHP BY ADDING STABLE BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY, BANDWIDTH, AND WI-FI CAPACITY TO OUR INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF 38 HEALTH CARE SETTINGS. CURRENTLY, THE MSHP SITES HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITHOUT WI-FI, WHICH BECAME AN ENORMOUS CHALLENGE DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC. BY ENHANCING TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY, WE CAN EXPAND CARE CONNECTIONS FOR PATIENTS ACROSS A BROAD SERVICE AREA, PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS TO CARE, EXTEND SERVICES TO THEIR FAMILIES, LINK PATIENTS TO THE NEAREST MMC AMBULATORY SITE, AND PROVIDE REFERRALS WITH FOLLOW-UP TO SOCIAL SERVICES TO ADDRESS OTHER NEEDS THAT MAY BE PRESENT. THERE ARE 38 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, 36 LOCATED WITHIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE BRONX AND TWO IN NEIGHBORING YONKERS IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. THESE ARE COMMUNITIES WITH MAJORITY MINORITY POPULATIONS, HIGH POVERTY RATES COMPARED TO STATE AND NATIONAL DATA, AND LIMITED ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE. THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IS ALIGNED WITH THE PURPOSE OF HRSA'S CDS SPENDING AS IT ENTAILS RENOVATIONS TO "HEALTH CARE AND OTHER FACILITIES". IT IS ALSO ALIGNED WITH HRSA'S MISSION AND GOALS RELATED TO ACHIEVING HEALTH EQUITY, AND IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH AND ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES. BY MODERNIZING AND RENOVATING MSHP'S SITES TO PROVIDE TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY, WE CAN MAKE AN ENORMOUS IMPACT ON THIS SERVICE AREA WHICH FACES MANY CHALLENGES RELATED TO THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, INCLUDING ECONOMIC STABILITY AND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.
