The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a clinic-based intervention that utilizes evidence-based education and support tools to 1) increase provider knowledge of and comfort with HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) modalities in clinical practice and 2) improve PrEP adherence among young men and non-binary persons who have sex with men (YMSM).
This Change Request is responsive to input from community stakeholders and aligns with the goals and plans of this project. Requested changes do not impact the approved burden and do not result in an overall change in the scope of data collection. Changes are being made to bolster study enrollment and strengthen data collection efforts which are critical to the final analyses and study outcomes. Changes will also further harmonize this study with the mChoice Study (OMB 0920-1428) as both are funded through PS-21-003, PrEP Choice. Finally, CDC would plans on updating the race and ethnicity questions to reflect the new standards announced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on 03/29/2024.
