View Award Description

Community-level Prevention Navigator Project at The Health Center at Faith Mission, Franklin County - Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio (LSS) will develop and implement a Prevention Navigator project in Franklin County to address the critical need for prevention services targeting at-risk males, including homeless males who identify as LGBTQ+. Specifically, the population of focus are black and Hispanic minority males (18 years and older) who lack stable housing and are at risk for HIV/AIDS. The national EHE AHEAD dashboard reports 210 new HIV infections in Franklin County in 2019 and 214 people diagnosed with HIV. Only 67.6% of the county’s HIV-positive individuals were virally suppressed. Most significantly for this project, a mere 17.5% of those in high risk populations were prescribed PrEP. LSS will use a community-level navigation approach and will combine evidence-based health promotion, education, and awareness public messaging campaigns around substance misuse and HIV, and HIV/VH testing and linkage services prioritizing black and Hispanic minority populations within Franklin County, with a focus on MSM who lack stable housing and are at risk for HIV/AIDS. Proposed strategies and objectives support the two project goals: Goal 1: Enhance capacity and collaborations to plan and implement environmental strategies. Goal 2: Enhance access to services and opportunities using a navigation approach. Over the five years of the project, LSS will serve 675 individuals with grant funds using a combination of four well-known Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) that have been shown to decrease substance use behaviors and HIV risk in the target population: Anti-Retroviral Treatment and Access to Services (ARTAS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), and Harm Reduction. LSS will also offer combined HIV prevention interventions as an evidence-informed approach to prevent HIV transmission among those individuals at higher risk for infection, such as substance misusers. LSS will build out its navigation services to effectively address disparities experienced by homeless minority men as a difficult-to-reach and under-resourced population. Implementing navigation practices is a recovery-oriented, trauma-informed and equity-based approach to significantly enhance participants’ access to the knowledge, services, and community resources that support and promote their health seeking behaviors. The Prevention Navigator will leverage connections to help individuals moderate risky behavior, overcome stigma and other barriers to health seeking behaviors, and access support services in addition to treatment and care.
