A Mixed Methods Analysis of Southern HIV Service Organizations' Implementation of Harm Reduction to Address the HIV and Opioid Syndemic.

Southern HIV Service Organizations (SHSOs) are promising sites for the adoption and implementation of harm reduction as a means for addressing the HIV and opioid syndemic. However, little research to date has examined exactly how harm reduction is operationalized within and among SHSOs. Using program evaluation data (i.

Operationalizing Equity-centered Implementation Through Person-centered Care Capacity-building with HIV Service Organizations: The SUSTAIN Approach.

Unlabelled: Capacity-building in trauma-informed care and harm reduction approaches with Southern HIV service organizations must be implemented in ways that foster trust and spur organizational change. Using an equity-centered implementation science framework, this study examines implementation strategies of the SUSTAIN COMPASS Coordinating Center's person-centered care (PCC) capacity-building interventions.

Methods: Fifty-eight (58) in-depth qualitative interviews with staff (N=116) who received PCC capacity-building were analyzed using modified grounded theory.

Addressing Traumatizing Environments: A Case Study of the Showing up for Black Power, Liberation, and Healing Initiative.

Effectively combating HIV will require southern HIV Service Organizations (SHSOs) to support Black staff while they navigate traumas related to structural racism driving the epidemic. HIV organizational capacity-building research lacks effective community-led approaches to anti-racist organizational change centered on Black people's experiences. This participatory case study examines "Showing Up for Black Power, Liberation and Healing," an organizational capacity-building initiative that leads to individual and organizational change, developed and implemented by the SUSTAIN, an intermediary purveyor organization (IPO).

Harm reduction implementation among HIV service organizations (HSOs) in the U.S. south: a policy context analysis and results from a survey of HSOs.

Background: HIV service organizations are integral to serving communities disproportionately impacted by the HIV and opioid epidemics in the U.S. South.

A typology of power in implementation: Building on the exploration, preparation, implementation, sustainment (EPIS) framework to advance mental health and HIV health equity.

Background: Persistent inequities in HIV health are due, in part, to barriers to successful HIV-related mental health intervention implementation with marginalized groups. Implementation Science (IS) has begun to examine how the field can promote health equity. Lacking is a clear method to analyze how power is generated and distributed through practical implementation processes and how this power can dismantle and/or reproduce health inequity through intervention implementation.
