Optimizing Peer-Driven Interventions for High-Risk Patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Role Description: We are focusing on addressing one of the most significant health problems existing in sub-Saharan Africa – HIV. Despite expanded access to ART and a declining incidence of HIV infection, HIV remains at epidemic levels within the region. By building on our evidence-driven, peer-based, case-management model, we intend to redesign an optimal strategy for engaging with South Africans living with HIV who are not on treatment. Our short-term goal is to use sequential strategies to build on data collected from our qualitative process evaluation to synthesize, prototype, and refine our intervention. Our long-term goal is to target other chronic health conditions and decrease amenable mortality in low- and middle-income countries.
