Scaling Up Implementation Strategies to Improve the DIAGNOSE and PREVENT Pillars for Young MSM in Florida (NCT06015581)

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Florida State University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Young Adult Centered HealthForce Training (YACHT) package in 41 Florida Department of Health (FDOH) contracted Counseling, Testing, and Referral (CTR) agencies across six Florida End the Epidemic (EHE) counties. Agencies will be cluster-stratified and randomized to either the YACHT intervention (20 agencies) or a comparison group (21 agencies). The primary effectiveness outcome is the number of HIV tests administered to young men who have sex with men (YMSM), and the primary implementation outcome is providers' fidelity to evidence-based practices (EBPs), including risk reduction counseling and PrEP referrals, as measured through mystery shopper assessments and agency-level data obtained from the Florida Department of Health. The study also includes qualitative interviews with agency representatives to identify barriers and facilitators to successful implementation of youth-specific EBPs within HIV CTR settings.
