The purpose of this study is to
implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a clinic-based
intervention that utilizes evidence-based education and support
tools to 1) increase provider knowledge of and comfort with HIV
preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) modalities in clinical practice and
2) improve PrEP adherence among young men and non-binary persons
who have sex with men (YMSM). This Change Request is responsive to
input from community stakeholders and aligns with the goals and
plans of this project. Requested changes do not impact the approved
burden and do not result in an overall change in the scope of data
collection. Changes are being made to bolster study enrollment and
strengthen data collection efforts which are critical to the final
analyses and study outcomes. Changes will also further harmonize
this study with the mChoice Study (OMB 0920-1428) as both are
funded through PS-21-003, PrEP Choice. Finally, CDC would plans on
updating the race and ethnicity questions to reflect the new
standards announced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on
03/29/2024.
