ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving how healthcare providers address important issues like stigma and mistrust in medical settings among Black and Latina/Latino Americans living with HIV. These issues can lead to significant health disparities, and the trial aims to create an online training program for HIV care providers. This program will help them learn skills to better support their patients and build trust, making the healthcare experience more positive and effective.

To participate in this trial, healthcare providers such as doctors, nurse practitioners, and case managers must care for patients living with HIV, primarily from racial or ethnic minority backgrounds. They also need to be able to commit time to the study. Participants will take part in a pilot study where they will either receive the online training or be in a control group that does not receive the training. The researchers will then evaluate how well the training works over time. This study is currently active but not recruiting new participants.
