Brief Summary:
Universal Basic Income UBI is a promising strategy aimed at recalibrating economic systems that are grounded in structural racism Black men have long been the target of oppressive and interconnected systems of finance and healthcare access leading to a disproportionate burden of exposure to infectious disease with little healthcare support Yet to our knowledge no published UBI studies have ever been implemented exclusively with Black men living with HIV in the US Motivated and inspired by the innovative health and social science being conducted in extremely resource-limited environments in other parts of the world we recognize an urgent need to better understand the effect of cash transfers on HIV care among Black men in the US South The proposed study will be based in Arkansas which like other Southern states has a long history of institutional racism and extremely high rates of racial health disparities poverty and chronic disease We will use a mixed methods research design to conduct an in-depth exploration of a UBI intervention to reduce the racial wage gap and promote the use of culturally relevant protective factors The provision of a UBI is intended to increase receipt and retention of HIV care services and treatment for Black men through the influx of capital and subsequent increases in culturally-based protective factors such as personal agency and social connections We hypothesize that providing UBI of 500 per month for 6 months will result in increased HIV care utilization among low-income Black men living with HIV Secondarily we hypothesize that the effect of UBI will also increase adherence to HIV medication such that more UBI recipients will achieve and maintain viral suppression compared to individuals in the control condition
Detailed Description:
The proposed supplement from the parent R01 grant will expand on the parent grant by enrolling a larger sample n80 of Black men living with HIV as their diagnosed chronic disease To date no published UBI studies have ever been implemented exclusively with Black men living with HIV in the US Motivated and inspired by the innovative health and social science being conducted in extremely resource-limited environments in other parts of the world we recognize an urgent need to better understand the effect of cash transfers on HIV care among Black men in the US South The proposed study will be based in Arkansas which like other Southern states has a long history of institutional racism and extremely high rates of racial health disparities poverty and chronic disease We will use a mixed methods research design to conduct an in-depth exploration of a UBI intervention to reduce the racial wage gap and promote the use of culturally relevant protective factors The provision of a UBI is intended to increase receipt and retention of HIV care services and treatment for Black men through the influx of capital and subsequent increases in culturally-based protective factors such as personal agency and social connections We hypothesize that providing UBI of 500 per month for 6 months will result in increased HIV care utilization among low-income Black men living with HIV Secondarily we hypothesize that the effect of UBI will also increase adherence to HIV medication such that more UBI recipients will achieve and maintain viral suppression compared to individuals in the control condition This study is designed to generate generalizable evidence to inform decisions by policymakers scientists and the general public about the inner-workings of UBI the biases underlying who is deemed as qualifying or deserving and its downstream effects on public health particularly related to access to HIV care and structural racism
