The IDEAS team has recently received news that the abstract titled “Telehealth to prevent suicide in Tanzanian HIV clinics: Perspectives of mental health professionals” was accepted for the 2022 APA Convention. Alyssa Martinez will be traveling to Minneapolis, Minnesota in August to present this research.
The presentation will cover the in-depth qualitative interviews that were conducted with mental health workers in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania in November of 2021. The goal of this research was to explore the potential for using telehealth to connect affected individuals to vital suicide prevention counseling in Tanzanian HIV care. The interviews were extremely informative and each participant provided invaluable feedback on the IDEAS intervention.
