Dr. Kristin Beima-Sofie, MPH, PhD, is an Acting Assistant Professor in the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington. She is a qualitative researcher with implementation science training serving as core faculty for the UW\/FHCRC Center for AIDS Research Behavior Science Core, as well as faculty for the Global Center for Integrated Health of Women, Adolescents, and Children (Global WACh) and the Kenya Research and Training Center (KRTC). Dr. Beima-Sofie\u2019s research interests have coalesced around understanding factors that influence the health of women, adolescents and children affected by HIV. Aligning with these interests, her current research projects focus on evaluating interventions and national programs for adolescents affected by HIV including programs and policies around HIV disclosure to children and adolescents, transition from pediatric to adult care, and healthcare provider interventions that optimize HIV treatment support. She is also involved in several projects to optimize PrEP delivery, including integration into family planning clinics or harm reduction services and evaluation of novel PrEP products. Dr. Beima-Sofie leads a qualitative mentoring group (QWIP) for students, fellows, faculty and staff, conducts workshops on qualitative methods, and teaches the second course in the global health qualitative methods series (GH539: Analyzing Qualitative Data).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
