The Mental Health Disparities and Community Engagement (MHD-CE) Core promotes research on HIV-related mental health disparities by providing expert consultation on intervention development with diverse populations, culturally competent assessment measures and equitable human participant’s research with disenfranchised populations. This core oversees two “consent-to-contact” databases for participant recruitment: one for community members at risk for HIV and the other for the people living with HIV and in care at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System Adult HIV clinic. This core also leads the CHARM Community Advisory Board and all community engagement activities, which are central to the Center’s work. This core is led by Sannisha Dale, PhD (Core Director), Allan Rodriguez, MD, and Hansel E. Tookes, III, MD, MPH (Core Co-Directors).
