Consent-to-Contact Databases

CHARM Clinic Registry – People living with HIV

This survey database consists of people living with HIV receiving care at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System HIV Clinic.  Questions included in the survey cover demographics, general HIV risk group, substance use, sexual risk behaviors, psychological distress, trauma, homelessness, stigma, HIV care adherence, and co-occurring health conditions. Consent for inclusion in the database includes permission to be contacted for future studies and to extract relevant data from medical records related to study inclusion criteria (e.g., mental health comorbidities, HIV viral load, CD4, medications, visit attendance).

Submit a request via the Research Navigation Portal to request additional information on this database or to access the data for recruitment purposes, for a grant, or to develop a manuscript. 

CHARM Community Survey – People at risk for acquiring HIV

This survey database consists mainly of individuals at high risk for HIV (people living with HIV are not excluded, but the survey is not conducted in HIV clinics).  Serving as a general cross-study screener for center investigators, the brief (3-5 minute) survey documents demographic information (e.g., race/ethnicity, country of origin, years in the US, language, sexual orientation, socio-economic information); general HIV risk group /behaviors/ status (e.g., MSM, heterosexual, sexual risk, substance and needle use, PTSD, depression); and contact information/contact preferences. Completion of the brief survey constitutes consent to be included in the database and contacted for future studies, and includes community members. 

Submit a request via the Research Navigation Portal to request additional information on this database or to access the data for recruitment purposes, for a grant, or to develop a manuscript.  Contact charm@miami.edu if your research team or community agency is interested in collaborating on this research activity.

Implementer Consent to Contact Database

This database includes implementers in South Florida who are involved in implementing HIV and Mental Health services at various community organizations, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and other local venues. Implementers include frontline providers, administrative staff, and organizational leaders. The purpose of the database is two-fold: (1) to identify the needs and priorities of local implementers and (2) to obtain contact information for implementers interested in participating in implementation research, which will facilitate community-engaged implementation research. Information within the database includes implementers’ organization, role within their organization (e.g., outreach worker, medical provider, administrator), type of organization (e.g., FQHC, University hospital or clinic), populations served, and services provided (e.g., HIV prevention or treatment). Implementers are also asked about their priorities in terms of implementation and training efforts. CHARM investigators may submit requests for accessing contact information from this database to recruit implementers and identify partners for EIS research (e.g., identifying individuals who serve Black, Latino/x/e, and other underserved communities to partner on implementing an evidence-based intervention (EBI) or adopting an implementation strategy to increase the reach of PrEP).

Submit a request via the Research Navigation Portal to request additional information on this database or to access the data for recruitment purposes, for a grant, or to develop a manuscript.  Contact charm@miami.edu if your research team or community agency is interested in collaborating on this research activity.
