Establishing a Premise Epidemiology, Modeling and Surveillance System (PREMISE), a study to support the development of consistent national HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) data to describe its patterns of use, and to understand which programs and policies are effective at facilitating PrEP uptake in the US.

Improving tele

PrEP initiation and retention outcomes in the US:
The MISTR+ study, an NIH-funded series of clinical trials to support the development of low-touch interventions (such as tailored messaging) and testing their effectiveness on PrEP initiation and retention outcomes.

The Elección (Choice) Cohort:
Developing and testing a scalable, platform-agnostic digital intervention in Peru, an NIH-funded clinical trial to improve understanding of the factors associated with HIV acquisition and PrEP uptake; and evaluate the preferences for and effectiveness of an adapted digital health messaging intervention (mHealth) among men in Peru.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Detailed Project

Description:

PREMISE:
To reach Ending the Epidemic (ETE) targets, we will need consistent national HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) data to describe patterns of use and to understand which programs and policies are effective at facilitating PrEP uptake. This NIH-funded study aims to build on our history of developing public PrEP data resources and innovative metrics of PrEP use in PREMISE (PrEP Epidemiology, Modeling, and Surveillance), a collaborative and interdisciplinary group that will use national PrEP data, along with legal and policy coding, to inform the US HIV epidemic response.

The study will conduct analyses regarding the scope of PrEP scaleup overtime and will perform analyses to explore the impact of different locality-specific programs and policies on PrEP use.

MISTR+ Our study (MISTR+) seeks to establish an evidence base for telehealth and improve health outcomes in terms of PrEP care initiation, retention and re-engagement for the over 100,000 users of this service by (1) developing a series of low-touch interventions based on existing evidence and new data analyses of tele
