POWER Up Trial Summary

This trial will study strategies to increase PrEP use among Black cisgender women, to combat the higher incidence of HIV in this population.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black cisgender women aged 18 or older who are HIV-negative. It aims to increase the use of PrEP, a medication that prevents HIV infection. Women under 18 or those already living with HIV cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests four strategies: educating providers and patients about PrEP, optimizing electronic medical records (EMR) for better tracking, guiding patients through PrEP usage (navigation), and giving feedback to providers on their prescribing habits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational and procedural interventions rather than medications, there are no direct side effects from drugs being tested. However, participants may experience indirect effects related to changes in clinic procedures.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Implementation of 1) Patient Education, 2) Provider PrEP training, 3) EMR optimization, and 4) PrEP navigation, and the effect of these intervention components on the ability of each site to assess HIV risk/take a sexual history, assess PrEP eligibility, identify PrEP ineligibility for otherwise PrEP-eligible patients, provide PrEP education, offer PrEP, provide PrEP navigation, measure PrEP uptake, and measure PrEP persistence/retention.
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
The current mechanisms used at each healthcare site to assess HIV risk/ take a sexual history, assess PrEP eligibility, identify PrEP ineligibility for otherwise PrEP eligible patients, provide PrEP education, offer PrEP, provide PrEP navigation, measure PrEP uptake, and measure PrEP persistence/retention.
