Estamos Juntos (We Are Together): Improving HIV Care Delivery by Capacitating Health Care Providers
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Sept 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Health care workers' negative behavior towards patients (likely a reflection of low job satisfaction, frustration with delivering HIV care and treatment in extremely resource-limited settings, and burnout) is one of the primary reasons people living with HIV abandon treatment in Mozambique. The purpose of this proposal is to test the impact and implementation of a provider resilience intervention and an anti-stigma intervention, individually and in combination, using a randomized controlled trial design at four health facilities. This potentially high-impact intervention offers the opportunity to test a low-cost, provider-focused approach to improving HIV treatment that, if proven effective at increasing adherence and retention in care, could be tested in a fully powered R01 trial in Mozambique.
