The purpose of this study is to
evaluate the efficacy of ChiCAS (Chicas Creando Acceso a la Salud
[Chicas: Girls Creating Access to Health]), a Spanish language
intervention that provides HIV prevention services to
Hispanic/Latina adult transgender women. The information collected
through this study will be used to evaluate whether exposure to the
ChiCAS intervention results in improvements in participants'
self-reported HIV prevention behaviors, beliefs and attitudes. This
study will use a randomized delayed-intervention comparison group
design to compare pre- (baseline) and post-intervention (6-month)
levels of HIV risk among participants who have received the
intervention and participants who have not yet received the
intervention (delayed intervention group). The proposed Revision
(2021) seeks approval to continue information collection activities
that were halted due to the COVID pandemic, as well as for removal
of redundant questions from the follow-up assessment, and for
expansion of the recruitment area to metropolitan areas adjacent to
North Carolina.
