Trauma histories are common among people with HIV and associated with poor HIV outcomes, underscoring the importance of integrating trauma-informed care (TIC) into HIV services. As part of the quantitative phase of an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study, we assessed individual and clinic-wide support (using the Attitudes Related to Trauma-informed Care-45 (ARTIC-45)) and factors influencing TIC support through surveys with 152 administrators, providers, and staff from 38 Ryan White Clinics (RWCs) in the Southeastern US. Mean responses to the ARTIC-45 Personal and System Support Subscales were 5.18 (SE = 0.09; range 1–7) and 4.45 (SE = 0.16; range 1–7), respectively. In bivariate analysis, higher personal and system support were associated with strong clinic leadership culture (personal support: β = 0.08, t-value = 2.66, p = 0.009; system support: β = 0.16, t-value = 4.71, p < 0.001) and lower staff burnout (personal support: β=-0.05, t-value=-3.10, p = 0.002; system support: β=-0.07, t-value=-3.63, p < 0.001). System support was also associated with rural clinic setting (β = 0.61, t-value = 2.34, p = 0.021), strong staff culture (β = 0.14, t-value = 4.70, p = < 0.001), and resource availability (β = 0.16, t-value = 5.76, p < 0.001), and negatively associated with academic clinic setting (β=-0.52, t-value=-2.25, p = 0.026). Thus, while there is encouraging individual support for TIC, RWCs need tools (training and/or resources) to foster leadership and staff culture and trauma support to enable their transition to trauma-informed HIV care.
