Summary

Transgender women in Florida are economically disadvantaged and at highest risk for substance use disorders, HIV transmission and/or non-adherence to antiretroviral treatment, yet remain underrepresented in research. Existing programs fail to address structural barriers such as socio-economic status and social marginalization that deter access to prevention services and care. For this study, acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of ENTRUST (economic navigation and strengthening to realize unrestricted services for transgender women) will be assessed. ENTRUST is an economic-based empowerment intervention that will provide transgender women with group-based financial education while receiving tailored SBIRT counseling to help transgender women routinely engaging in substance use services and HIV care or preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) programs. Participants will be assigned to either the ENTRUST intervention arm or a waitlist control arm. Participants in the intervention arm will receive the ENTRUST intervention during 6-month follow up, and participants assigned to the control arm will have the option of receiving the ENTRUST intervention at the end of the study. Participants in the intervention arm must complete about half of the visits in person, and participants in the control arm will have the option of completing the study visits remotely or in person. All participants will be followed for six months and will complete 4 - 15 study visits. In person site visits will occur at one of our participating sites in Orlando or Miami and will be conducted in English and/or Spanish only. Participants must be adults (over the age) and residing in South or Central Florida. Participants can be enrolled in the study for 6 - 8 months.
