The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ChiCAS (Chicas Creando Acceso a la Salud [Chicas: Girls Creating Access to Health]), a Spanish language intervention that provides HIV prevention services to Hispanic/Latina adult transgender women. The information collected through this study will be used to evaluate whether exposure to the ChiCAS intervention results in improvements in participants' self-reported HIV prevention behaviors, beliefs and attitudes. This study will use a randomized delayed-intervention comparison group design to compare pre- (baseline) and post-intervention (6-month) levels of HIV risk among participants who have received the intervention and participants who have not yet received the intervention (delayed intervention group). The proposed Revision (2021) seeks approval to continue information collection activities that were halted due to the COVID pandemic, as well as for removal of redundant questions from the follow-up assessment, and for expansion of the recruitment area to metropolitan areas adjacent to North Carolina.
