About this study
The investigator propose to culturally adapt the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MSBR) intervention for Black/African American women living with HIV (WLWH) to reduce stress and enhance HIV self-care behaviors and viral load (VL) suppression, which has the potential to attenuate prominent racial and gender disparities experienced by Black WLWH in the US. Specifically, the investigator aims to 1) culturally adapt the MBSR intervention for Black WLWH using ADAPT-ITT; 2) pre-pilot the adapted intervention via an open non-randomized pilot study to further refine the culturally adapted intervention; and 3) conduct a 2-armed randomized pilot test of the behavioral intervention compared to standard of care to assess the feasibility and acceptability the adapted MBSR intervention for Black WLWH. The investigator hypothesis that the adapted intervention will be feasible and acceptable to member of the target population.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MindfulnessBehavioural
The traditional MBSR intervention consists of the following: (1) a series of eight weekly session of 2.5 to 3 hours; (2) a silent retreat during the sixth week; (3) daily home assignments including formal and informal mindfulness practices; and (4) didactic presentations on stress and the consequences of stress. We are culturally tailoring the intervention with the goal of maintain fidelity.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction | Active comparator | MBSR sessions received by the treatment group will include an orientation, approximately 8 intervention sessions, and an exit interview. Receives: Behavioral: Mindfulness |
| Standard of Care | No intervention | The control condition will continue receiving usual care or standard of care. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility Intervention Measure
Feasibility was measured using a four-item feasibility of intervention measure. Each item is scored using a Likert-like scale ranging from "1" completely disagree to "5" completely agree. Higher scores indicate greater feasibility. The minimum total score is 4 points, and the maximum total score is 20.
Measured: Immediately after the intervention(which consists of an orientation followed by eight weekly sessions, consistent with MSBR interventions), the measure was collected within one week of completing the final session.
