Dr. Budhwani Awarded $616,000 Grant: Healthy Choices to Reduce Stigma and Improve Self-Management of Alcohol and HIV among Young Adults

IDHI is thrilled to announce Dr. Henna Budhwani has been awarded a $616,000 NIH/Fogarty International Center grant for a new project: Healthy Choices to Reduce Stigma and Improve Self-Management of Alcohol and HIV among Young Adults. Led by Henna Budhwani, PhD, MPH, this initiative brings together a powerhouse collaboration with Sylvie Naar, PhD, LP and Iván Balán, PhD from the FSU College of Medicine.

Healthy Choices is a four-session behavior change communication intervention that was developmentally tailored for emerging adults to address self-management of health behaviors and HIV with evidence of positive effect on stigma and depression, built on Motivational Enhancement Therapy, integrating Motivational Interviewing with brief cognitive-behavioral strategies. There are no Spanish-language interventions that concurrently address mental health, viral suppression, and stigma, tailored for young adults who are in a developmental period marked by exploration and a need for autonomy in health decision making. This project will adapt and pilot test Healthy Choices for Spanish with local contexts plus co-create implementation strategies with community advising for future scale up.
