Overview
This study involves a peer-educator/navigation model targeting gaps in PrEP awareness, uptake, and access in priority populations.
Detailed description
The study focuses on increasing awareness and uptake of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among African American college students at a consortium of historically Black colleges and universities in Atlanta, GA.
Interventions
- Behavioral PrEP Awareness and Uptake Educational Program
This intervention targets African American college students aged 18-26 using a tailored, community participatory approach. It is delivered by trained peer educators and focuses on increasing PrEP awareness, access, and uptake through interactive, behaviorally focused sessions. Developed with input from focus groups to ensure relevance, the program includes a 6-month follow-up to assess sustained impact, distinguishing it from general PrEP education efforts.
