Integrating Supports to Promote PrEP for Black Adolescents Working With Apps- Alabama

This study is testing a mobile health app called HealthMPowerment to help Black adolescents and young adults (ages 14-21) in Alabama take their PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) medication regularly. PrEP is a highly effective medicine that prevents HIV infection. The app aims to improve how well young people take PrEP by involving a trusted adult support person. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for both the young people and their support adults. This study is important because HIV rates are high among young Black individuals in Alabama, and PrEP can significantly reduce these infections. The study plans to enroll 10 participants.

What this trial measures

  • Acceptability/Usability1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

    The study evaluates an app's impact through post-intervention interviews, focusing on user experience, ethical concerns, and future usage intentions. It explores burden, satisfaction, attitudes, and how the app influences communication and adherence. Sekhon's Theoretical Framework of Acceptability will be utilized to measure this outcome.

  • Feasibility: Communication1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

    Communication between adolescents and young adults (AYA) and support person (i.e., Experience using chat features; Experience using forums). A modified version of Structured Assessment of FEasibility (SAFE) will be utilized to measure this outcome.
