Understanding and Applying the HIV Self-Test Program Preferences of Black and Latino Sexual and Gender Minorities in the Southern United States: an Online Discrete Choice Experiment with Patients and CFIR Interviews with Providers

John Guigayoma, PhD
Northwestern University

ABSTRACT:
Black and Latino sexual and gender minorities in the Southern United States have experienced the greatest burden of HIV for the past 25 years. HIV self-testing is an effective strategy to identify individuals living with undiagnosed HIV, but little implementation research is known about which program characteristics foster the highest patient engagement. Discrete choice experiments are a survey tool that can answer this question by providing insight on the most important program components to patients. This presentation will report on the design and results of an online discrete choice experiment with Black and Latino sexual and gender minorities living in the South to optimize the design of HIV self-test programs. Results will include preference estimates and marginal willingness to pay. This presentation will then report on the application of these results to a qualitative study examining barriers and facilitators to implementing a low-price HIV self-test home-delivery program from the perspectives of HIV prevention program decisionmakers in the South using the updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. This presentation will include considerations in study design, data collection, and analysis for those who may use discrete choice experiments in their own research.

Costing and Payment Tools in Addiction Research to Support Effective Dissemination of Economic Evidence

Kathryn McCollister, PhD
University of Miami

ABSTRACT:
Recent studies of the costs and economic impact of interventions for substance use disorder (SUD) have led to the development of costing tools and reimbursement calculators that support cost-effectiveness and cost-offset analyses and provide payers and other stakeholders with tailored products to assess budget impact and financial sustainability. This work reflects products from recent large-scale NIH research cooperatives (Helping End Addiction Long-term (HEAL)-ing Communities Study; Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN); HEAL Prevention Cooperative; HEAL Data2Action), which have established direct partnerships between health economic researchers, clinical researchers, SUD providers, state and local community agencies, and payers. An important objective in working more directly with different stakeholders to design tailored products and resources is to support both rigorous economic data collection and the effective dissemination of economic evidence for better decision making. This webinar will provide an overview of recently developed costing and payment tools and discuss how these tools are being implemented by stakeholders to optimize sustainability of high value interventions.

Understanding the Impact of Discrimination on Substance Use Among Black Justice-Involved Youth: A NIDA K23 Study

Brittany Bryant, DSW, LCSW-CP/S
University of California San Francisco

ABSTRACT:
Substance use among Black justice-involved youth is a critical public health issue, often exacerbated by experiences of discrimination and systemic racism. This NIDA K23 study aims to investigate the complex relationship between discrimination and substance use within this vulnerable population. Through qualitative interviews, the study will explore how perceived discrimination shapes substance use behaviors and the protective factors that may buffer against these effects. The insights gained will inform the development of culturally adapted interventions designed to reduce substance use and promote mental health, addressing the broader issues of criminalization and health disparities among Black youth. The process for culturally adaptations will be discussed with examples of the culturally adapted intervention provided.
