Project Description Region: North America Country: USA Location: San Diego Total Budget: $32,000 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment The project is to support Ms. Alexandra Almeida's first year of doctoral training in research to help improve access to health care and treatment for individuals who are co-infected with HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB) and are substance users. The main objectives of the project are to: a) identify barriers and facilitators to accessing health care and treatment for this population, and b) identify potential interventions that could help them access health care to treat their HIV and TB infection and substance use problems. This doctoral training will provide foundational educational experience and research skills that Alexandra will be able to apply in Brazil to help improve the health of individuals co-infected with HIV/AIDS and TB and who are also substance users.
