Until September 2024, this activity was implemented through Friends in Global Health (FGH), an international NGO associated with VUMC. Since October 2024, C-Saúde has been the implementer of this program in Mozambique.

Health care workers (HCW) providing HIV-related services have been found to be at risk for exhaustion and burnout. Mozambique has a high HIV burden and is not yet reaching the 95-95-95 goals set out by UNAIDS. With NIH funding through Vanderbilt University Medical Center, we implement a pilot randomized controlled trial at four health facilities to test the implementation and impact of two psychosocial interventions (resilience training, anti-stigma training) on hypothesized mechanisms of behavior change among HCW, and the impact on patient adherence to HIV treatment.  

The study initiated in January 2023, with completion of data collection in February 2025.

Preliminary results were presented at IAS 2023, the 12^th IAS Conference on HIV Science (July 2023, Brisbane, Australia) (Abstract #OALBD0605); and AIDS 2024, the 25th International AIDS Conference (July 2024, Munich, Germany) (Abstract #OAE3006LBA).
