Supporting Health and Empowerment through Contingency Management and Affect Regulation for Equity and Success for all

The Supporting Health and Empowerment through Contingency Management and Affect Regulation for Equity and Success for all study aims to develop and optimize a scalable, HIV risk reduction intervention for stimulant-using women who inject drugs (WWID) in North Carolina.

Design Approach

Grounded in human-centered design and guided by implementation science frameworks, the study integrates contingency management (CM) and positive affect (PA) enhancement strategies into a tailored, women-centered intervention.

Methodology

Using a sequential mixed-methods approach, researchers will engage WWID and key stakeholders to identify barriers and facilitators to implementing CM+PA strategies.

Intervention Details

The resulting intervention, Supporting Health and Empowerment through Contingency Management and Affect Regulation for Equity and Success for all, will be refined through a Discover/Design/Build/Test process to ensure it is effective, scalable, and responsive to the unique needs of this population.
