“…Studies were reviewed to examine peer training strategies and approaches described by the research team, including their use of manualized training materials (Table 2). Eleven studies referenced manualized training materials (Addison et al, 2019;Cabral et al, 2018;Cully et al, 2012;Cunningham et al, 2018;Dunn Navarra et al, 2019;Guy et al, 2020;Gwadz et al, 2017;Hirshfield et al, 2021;Hosek et al, 2018;Johnson et al, 2021;Tobias et al, 2012). Five of these 11 studies referenced Building Blocks for Peer Success for the development of their manualized training materials (Addison et al, 2019;Cabral et al, 2018;Dunn Navarra et al, 2019;Gwadz et al, 2017;Tobias et al, 2012).…”

“…The remaining 6 of the 11 studies referenced manualized training materials but did not use Building Blocks for Peer Success (Cully et al, 2012;Cunningham et al, 2018;Guy et al, 2020;Hirshfield et al, 2021;Hosek et al, 2018;Johnson et al, 2021). These materials were described as a detailed manual of operations (Cunningham et al, 2018) and an implementation manual with peer training content (Johnson et al, 2021).…”

“…Two studies provided peers with copies of the intervention manual, which were reviewed with peers as part of their training (Cully et al, 2012;Hosek et al, 2018). Guy et al (2020) referenced the Inspiring Change Manual for the training of peers, which was designed for African Americans with serious mental illness (available for download through the Chicago Health Disparities Center [https://chicagohealthdisparities.org]).…”

“…Peer training content varied across the 18 studies and is referenced in Table 2. More than half of the studies (Addison et al, 2019;Cabral et al, 2018;DeMarco & Chan, 2013;Dunn Navarra et al, 2019;Guy et al, 2020;Gwadz et al, 2017;Johnson et al, 2021;Koester et al, 2014;Reback et al, 2021;Senn et al, 2017;Tobias et al, 2012) included training directed to ethics (e.g., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA], confidentiality) and/or communication skills (i.e., cultural competency, motivational interviewing; Addison et al, 2019;Dunn Navarra et al, 2019;Gwadz et al, 2017;Hirshfield et al, 2021;Koester et al, 2014;Messeri et al, 2020;Reback et al, 2021;Senn et al, 2017;Tobias et al, 2012;Wolfe et al, 2013). Nearly all studies included training on HIV knowledge (n 5 15) and/or medication adherence (n 5 14); however, self-efficacy, harm reduction, stigma and disclosure, mental health, gender and sexual health, health care system engagement, and general health/wellness were inconsistent across studies (Table 2).…”

“…Peer competency and intervention fidelity. Ten studies assessed intervention fidelity (Addison et al, 2019;Cully et al, 2012;Cunningham et al, 2018;DeMarco & Chan, 2013;Dunn Navarra et al, 2019;Guy et al, 2020;Gwadz et al, 2017;Hosek et al, 2018;Senn et al, 2017;Wolfe et al, 2013). Six of these studies used audio-video recordings of intervention and/or roleplay sessions (Cully et al, 2012;DeMarco & Chan, 2013;Dunn Navarra et al, 2019;Gwadz et al, 2017;Hosek et al, 2018;Wolfe et al, 2013).…”

Peer health workers (peers) are commonly engaged interventionists in the HIV care spectrum. The objective of this scoping review was to examine the range of evidence on training strategies and approaches for peer-led HIV behavioral interventions in the United States. Four electronic databases (Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO) were searched for peer-reviewed published literature (2010-2021) of peer-led HIV behavioral interventions directed to improving antiretroviral therapy adherence and/or retention in care. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Eleven studies referenced manualized training materials, and nine used role-play as part of their curricula. Peer training content and duration varied across studies, as well as evaluation of intervention fidelity, and peer competency. Findings highlight heterogeneity in peer training strategies and approaches. The expansion and sustainability of peer engagement in the HIV care continuum will require greater consensus among members of the research community on best practices for training.

There is ample literature on interventions to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) stigma and discrimination and extant theory around intersectionality. However, the integration of intersectionality into the design and implementation of stigma reduction interventions is nascent. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we reviewed 23 studies from six countries to examine the state of the evidence on interventions to reduce intersectional stigma in the context of HIV. Thirteen studies made explicit reference to intersectionality, 11 of which addressed all three stigma domains: drivers, facilitators, and manifestations. Most interventions were multilevel and multistrategy, yet only five included a structural component. Thirteen studies focused on four or more intersections (e.g., HIV, race, sexual identity, gender), five on three intersections, and five on two intersections. Twenty studies (87%) reported medium (n = 5) to high (n = 15) community engagement. The majority of studies (19/23) assessed HIV-related (e.g., antiretroviral therapy [ART] adherence) and/or empowerment-based outcomes (e.g., self-esteem, coping), with 91% reporting some positive intervention effects. Of 13 studies that measured stigma outcomes, only seven (54%) documented some improvement in the stigma measures assessed. Our review revealed a range of sophisticated, intersectionality-informed interventions that were mostly successful at improving HIV, sexual health, and empowerment-based outcomes, but less successful at reducing the aspects of stigma measured. Future research should encompass wider geographical regions, use validated measures of intersectional stigma, and test structural interventions and approaches that challenge the systems of power and oppression that fuel stigma, inequality, and poor health outcomes among multiply marginalized populations.
