Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques/Expressive Supportive Therapy (SMART/EST) Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management Training (CBSM+) for HIV+ Women
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND GOALS:
SMART/EST I: The goal of this project was to test the effects of cognitive-behavioral interventions on quality of life and psychosocial and health status indices in a randomized controlled trial with ethnically representative women with AIDS, including African-American, Caribbean, and Hispanic women. Ten Community Health Centers and 432 HIV+ women were involved with the project. This project was a collaboration with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Research Center.
SMART/EST II: The goal of this project was to test the effects of cognitive-behavioral interventions on quality of life, psychosocial and health status with women who speak English, Spanish or Creole. Eleven Community Health Centers and 450 female patients who received a 16-week intervention in either a group or individual condition and a two-year follow-up were involved. This project was a collaboration with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Research Center and St. John’s University.
SMART/EST III: The goal of this multi-site research study was to translate the SMART/EST Women’s Program (SWP), an evidence-based behavioral intervention designed to enhance quality of life and improve health status for ethnically diverse, disadvantaged women living with HIV/AIDS, from the academic setting into the health care system of four HRSA-funded HCs. Five Clinical Health Centers and 428 HIV+ women were involved in the project. This project was a collaboration with University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
