  • Implementing long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis services at private pharmacies in Kenya

    Open AccessStephanie Roche, Kevin Kamolloh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Maximising the impact of new and forthcoming long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) products will require novel delivery approaches that widen accessibility and prioritise clients' needs and preferences. To understand the potential barriers and facilitators to delivering injectable PrEP via private pharmacies in Kenya, we conducted qualitative formative research. METHODS: From July to September 2023, we interview…

  • Formalized peer referral to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis supported with self-testing

    Open AccessMaureen McGowan, Njeri Wairimu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: The uptake of daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-a highly effective intervention-remains low among African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who could benefit. AGYW who initiate PrEP often do so through informal peer referral, which may be enhanced with formalized peer referral and peer-delivered HIV self-testing (HIVST). To understand the feasibility of this PrEP referral model among AGYW, we conducted a pilot study…

  • Online HIV prophylaxis delivery

    Open AccessCatherine Kiptinness, Paulami Naik et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Online pharmacies in Kenya provide sexual and reproductive health products (e.g., HIV self-testing, contraception) and could be leveraged to increase the reach of HIV pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP/PEP) to populations who do not frequently attend health facilities. To date, evidence is limited for operationalizing online PrEP/PEP delivery and the type of populations reached with this differential service delivery mod…

  • Latino Beliefs About Biomedical Research Participation

    Open AccessRachel M Ceballos, Sarah Knerr et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2014Cited by: 8References: 1

    Latinos are under-represented in biomedical research conducted in the United States, impeding disease prevention and treatment efforts for this growing demographic group. We gathered perceptions of biomedical research and gauged willingness to participate through elicitation interviews and focus groups with Latinos living on the U.S.-Mexico border. Themes that emerged included a strong willingness to participate in biomedical studies and suggeste…

  • Awareness of Federal Regulatory Mechanisms Relevant to Community-Engaged Research

    Open AccessStephanie M Fullerton, Emily E Anderson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2014References: 2

    Few studies or investigators involved in community-engaged research or community-based participatory research have examined awareness and adoption of federal regulatory mechanisms. We conducted a survey of investigators affiliated with the 10 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities. A questionnaire designed to capture experience with the conduct and oversight of community-engaged research, and awar…
