Acceptability of a mindfulness intervention for depressive symptoms among African-American women in a community health center: a qualitative study.
The authors examined the acceptability and feasibility of a mindfulness-based group intervention for socio-economically disadvantaged women in an urban community health center. Participants reported benefits to the intervention as well as barriers to session attendance. The authors concluded that the mindfulness-based intervention for depression was acceptable, reduced stress, and improved coping and functioning among women in a community health center.

HIV-related stigma and viral suppression among African-American women: exploring the mediating roles of depression and ART nonadherence.
Investigators recruited a sample of African-American women living with HIV to participate in a stigma-reduction intervention. The women lived in Chicago and Birmingham from 2013 to 2015. The relationship between HIV-related stigma and viral suppression was evaluated and the role of depression and nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) was assessed. Among 100 women who participated 95% reported some level of HIV-related stigma. Those who reported higher levels of stigma did have lower odds of being virally suppressed. The indirect effects of depression and ART nonadherence were not statistically significant.

A mindfulness-based intervention for low-income African American women with depressive symptoms delivered by an experienced instructor versus a novice instructor.
The authors piloted a streamlined mindfulness teacher training protocol for Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) staff. They also examined the distribution and variability of psychologic outcomes for participants in groups led by an experienced instructor compared to a FQHC staff instructor who received the streamlined training. They concluded that preliminary data indicate that health care staff who receive streamlined training to deliver mindfulness-based interventions have comparable outcomes as experienced instructors.

Religiosity, social support, and ethnic identity: exploring "resilience resources" for African-American women experiencing HIV-related stigma.
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether religiosity, social support, and ethnic identity moderate the effects of HIV-related stigma on depression among African-American women living with HIV. Results showed that the protective effects of religiosity may be leveraged in interventions for African-American women living with HIV struggling with HIV-related stigma.

Interventions to prevent perinatal depression: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
This evidence review, funded by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force examined if interventions to prevent perinatal depression was effective. A large number of studies were identified, and 50 were included in the review. There was an absolute difference in the risk of perinatal depression from 1.3% reduction in the control group to 31.8% greater reduction in the intervention group. Most of the studies were limited to women at increased risk for perinatal depression. Counseling interventions seemed to be the most effective.

"It was as though my spirit left, like they killed me": the disruptive impact of an HIV-positive diagnosis among women in the Dominican Republic.
An HIV diagnosis may be associated with severe emotional and psychological distress, which can contribute to delays in care or poor self-management. In this study, the investigators conducted in-depth interviews with 30 women living with HIV in the Dominican Republic to explore the emotional, psychological, and psychosocial impacts of an HIV diagnosis on women in low-resource settings.
