NCT05037513

Brief Summary

The overarching goal of this study is to adapt and feasibility test an evidence-based strengths-based case management (SBCM) intervention for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation, and examine preliminary efficacy of the intervention comparators (SBCM-PrEP) and (Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-PrEP). Within this context, the Specific Aims are to: 1) Assess client, provider, organization, and structural-level facilitators and barriers to integration of a PrEP focused SBCM (SBCM-PrEP) intervention into routine syringe service program (SSP) practice; 2) Adapt an evidence-based SBCM protocol to provide PrEP intervention services for people who inject drugs (PWID) in SSP sites; and, 3) Examine feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the adapted SBCM-PrEP. 80 participants will be randomized into: CDC-PrEP (an in-use PrEP intervention based on CDC guidelines) or SBCM-PrEP.

Limitations and Caveats

Small sample size on the pilot was not sufficiently powered to determine efficacy, however, percent difference and effect size estimates were determined as intended.
