CSDE Affiliate Emily Williams receives funding from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to explore patterns of unhealthy alcohol use and HIV prevention among a national VA cohort of gender and sexual minorities and other marginalized groups. The project is titled Informing and promoting Shared decision-making for HIV prevention and Alcohol Reduction: Engaging diverse Veterans to refine and pilot a decision aid (SHARE Study) and will be done in collaboration with investigators at Yale University. The SHARE study will use mixed methods and co-design methodologies, guided by a Community Advisory Board, to examine PrEP initiation and persistence among patients with unhealthy alcohol use, including those from marginalized subgroups, and tailor and pilot a decision aid to foster shared decision-making to enhance uptake of PrEP concomitantly with provision of evidence-based alcohol-related care. Congratulations to Professor Williams!
