Exploring the implementation of new PrEP methods during periconception, throughout pregnancy, and after childbirth
REFNo: HS6260ES
Aim 1a: Explore preliminary implementation strategies for injectable cabotegravir (CAB) and other long-acting PrEP agents for people of reproductive potential in rural Alabama and Uganda.
Aim1b: Informed by the qualitative findings, we will design a survey to quantify the perceived barriers and facilitators and assess feasibility and acceptability of the implementation strategies proposed in Aim 1a. We propose to survey N~120 key stakeholders (KS) across the two sites.
Approach (Aims 1a-b): Using rapid qualitative methods to analyze in-depth interviews and focus group discussion conducted with ~24 key stakeholders (ministry of health, clinic administrators, clinicians) and ~50 consumers (people of reproductive potential) across the two sites. We will then survey ~120 key stakeholders across sites to assess feasibility and acceptability of the implementation strategies identified in the qualitative work (Aim 2b).
Aim 2. Select implementation strategies for a future adaptive trial through a modified Delphi process.
Approach: Stakeholders will be convened for site-specific group meetings to hear suggestions for implementation strategies and adaptations, and asked rank their preferences. These data and information from the literature will inform the design of an adaptive trial for evaluating implementation strategies for novel PrEP for people of reproductive potential in rural Uganda and Alabama.
