FAMILY-CENTERED SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND HIV PREVENTION FOR LATINA WOMEN WITH CHILDREN

PROGRAMA DE ACCI?N/PROJECT ACTION - THE COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION SUNRISE COMMUNITY COUNSELING CENTER (SCCC) PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMA DE ACCION/PROJECT ACTION (PA) TO PROVIDE URGENTLY NEEDED HIV, HEPATITIS, SUBSTANCE MISUSE, AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVICES TO RACIAL/ETHNIC AND SEXUAL MINORITY POPULATIONS AS WELL AS PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS. THE POPULATION OF FOCUS FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL BE PRIMARILY SPANISH-SPEAKING LATINX YOUNG ADULT (18-24) AND ADULT (25-64) MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM) AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AT RISK FOR SUBSTANCE USE, HIV/HEPATITIS, AND HOMELESSNESS IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. THE SPECIFIC CATCHMENT AREA IS METRO SERVICE PLANNING AREA 4 (SPA 4) OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY. PA PROMOTES THE CONCEPT THAT ENGAGING PEOPLE IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS WHERE THEY ARE PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND CULTURALLY EMBEDDED PROMOTES RESILIENCY AND EMPOWERS PARTICIPANTS TO BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN ALL LEVELS OF THE PREVENTION PROCESS. PA HAS FOUR OVERARCHING GOALS: (1) TO ENGAGE 250 LATINX MSM/TRANSGENDER YOUNG ADULTS AND ADULTS IN EVIDENCE-BASED HIV, HEPATITIS, AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) PREVENTION SERVICES; (2) TO REDUCE HIV/HEPATITIS-RELATED RISK AMONG PA PARTICIPANTS (N=250); (3) TO REDUCE SUBSTANCE USE-RELATED RISK AMONG PA PARTICIPANTS (N=250); (4) TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO HOUSING SERVICES FOR ALL PA PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR UNSTABLE HOUSING. TO ACHIEVE GOAL 1, PA WILL SERVE 250 (Y1: 50, Y2: 60, Y3: 60, Y4: 50, Y5: 30) UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE FIVE-YEAR COURSE OF THE PA PROGRAM. PEER NAVIGATORS WILL CONDUCT STREET OUTREACH ACTIVITIES; A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN WILL BE LAUNCHED; AND COMMUNITY PARTNER COLLABORATION WILL BE UTILIZED TO FIND AND RECRUIT PRIMARILY SPANISH-SPEAKING LATINX MSM AND TRANSGENDER YOUNG ADULTS AND ADULTS WHO ARE AT RISK FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE, HIV, HEPATITIS, AND HOMELESSNESS. GOAL 2 WILL BE ACHIEVED BY UTILIZING NAVIGATION SERVICES TO LINK INDIVIDUALS FOR SUBSTANCE USE, HIV, HEPATITIS, HOUSING, AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES (EBPS) WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN ORDER TO MEET GOAL 3; PEER NAVIGATION, COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT), MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI), AND SEEKING SAFETY (SS). THE EBPS WILL BE CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY ADAPTED TO INCREASE TREATMENT ENGAGEMENT, RETENTION, MOTIVATION, AND ATTENDANCE. GOAL 4 WILL BE REACHED THROUGH SCCC'S CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH INCLUDE BIENESTAR, HOMELESS HEALTHCARE LOS ANGELES, LAMP COMMUNITY, AND WITH THE LOS ANGELES HOMELESS SERVICES AUTHORITY. OUTREACH AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PREVENTION EBP SERVICES WILL COMMENCE BY THE 4TH MONTH OF THE GRANT. PA WILL INCLUDE A RIGOROUS EVALUATION OF THESE SERVICES USING A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN. PROJECT STAFF WILL MONITOR KEY IMPLEMENTATION, PROCESS AND OUTCOME MEASURES TO ENSURE THE EBPS ARE CARRIED OUT TO MAXIMUM FIDELITY; TO ENSURE QUALITY OF CARE; AND TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFICACY OF PROGRAM DELIVERY. INTAKE, SIX-MONTHS POST-INTAKE AND DISCHARGE MEASUREMENT OF OUTCOMES AND PA PARTICIPANT CHARACTERISTIC COVARIATES WILL ALSO BE MEASURED AND USED IN THE DATA ANALYSIS. BY PROVIDING CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY SENSITIVE EBPS, PA WILL SUPPORT THE PREVENTION OF SUBSTANCE USE, HIV AND HEPATITIS, AND HOMELESSNESS AMONG PRIMARILY SPANISH-SPEAKING YOUNG ADULT AND ADULT MSM AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS.
