Experimental group

Description:

The pre-intervention phase will last for 4 months (months 1-4). The only study activity during the pre-intervention phase is the collection of routine PrEP uptake data to establish a baseline for PrEP prescribing at the GYN residency clinics and local PrEP clinics. The implementation of the combined-care model at the LSU GYN residency clinic at UMCNO for 10 months (months 5-14). Then we will add implementation of the social media campaign in the NOLA area for 4 months (months 5-18); implementation of the combined-care model at LSU GYN residency clinic at UMCNO will continue. The layered approach allows for an opportunity to assess the effect of the combined-care model, and subsequently, to what extent the social media campaign additionally engages Black women and builds demand for PrEP.
