Our research team often collaborates with academic institutions and public health organizations. Through these partnerships and our community’s trust in Bienestar’s mission, we can identify barriers to care and the lack of resources that communities of color and LGBTQ+ people face. In addition, we match research with our programs and services to better understand our community’s needs and find the equitable solutions we deserve.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The research department also is committed to training future generations of professionals through graduate-level internships. We believe the narrative can only change if we provide the next class of thought leaders to diversify discussion, productivity, and representation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

NIMH: Mobile Technology and Incentives (MOTIVES) for Racial and Ethnic Minorities in Los Angeles, CA<\/em><\/p>\n

In partnership with the RAND Corporation, the Mobile Technology and Incentives (MOTIVES) proposes a novel approach to disseminate and improve HIV prevention messages and knowledge retention.<\/p>\n

By targeting men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) with weekly text messages in combination with behavioral economics-based incentives, the MOTIVES study aims to increase the frequency of HIV testing and ultimately reducing seroconversion.<\/p>\n

This project takes place in the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.<\/p>\n

NIMH: Siempre Seguir\u00e9: A Pilot Intervention to Improve Coping with Discrimination and Adherence among HIV Positive Latino MSM<\/em><\/p>\n

Through a partnership with the RAND Corporation, this project will develop and test a pilot intervention to improve the coping skills and abilities of HIV-positive Latino men who have sex with men (MSM).<\/p>\n

By helping develop skills to cope with the negative effects of discrimination, this study aims to help increase the adherence to medical treatment among this vulnerable population.<\/p>\n
