Official title
INCLUSION - Enhancing PrEP Uptake and Retention Among Latine Transgender Women and Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men in the South Using Long-Acting Injectable PrEP
Overview
The purpose of this project is to test a culturally-tailored, community-delivered long-acting injectable PrEP (lenacapavir) program for Latine gay and bisexual men (GBM) and transgender women (TGW). The objective is to evaluate whether this intervention demonstrates greater persistence on lenacapavir for Latine GBM and TGW compared with what has been observed historically at the Duke PrEP Clinic.
Detailed description
We propose a mixed methods hybrid type 3 implementation study, which primarily tests an implementation strategy while collecting data on the clinical intervention and related outcomes. Building on existing partnerships between Duke University and El Centro Hispano, we will integrate lenacapavir delivery on-site at El Centro Hispano facilities, leveraging El Centro Hispano Peer Navigators to provide culturally congruent support for PrEP uptake, adherence, and persistence among Latine GBM and TGW.
Interventions
- Drug Lenacapavir long-acting
Culturally-tailored, community-delivered long-acting injectable PrEP (lenacapavir)
Primary outcome measures
- Number of participants who provided identification of barriers to providing lenacapavir at a Latine community-based organization [Time frame: up to 1 year]
- Number of participants who provided recommendations to address barriers to providing lenacapavir at a Latine community-based organization [Time frame: up to 1 year]
- Number of participants who provided identification of facilitators to providing lenacapavir at a Latine community-based organization [Time frame: up to 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Acceptability as measured by the number of participants who answered "yes" to select modified acceptability questions from Abbreviated Acceptability Rating Profile (AARP) [Time frame: up to 1 year]
- Number of providers who found the intervention feasible as measured by the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool (PSAT) [Time frame: up to 1 year]
