The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded $182,912 to the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc. (operating as the New York State Psychiatric Institute) on May 18, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop a shared decision support tool addressing HIV prevention among young adult Black and Latino men who have sex with men (YBLMM). The primary deliverables include a tailored Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Decision Aid (PDA)—a web-based tool designed to facilitate shared decision-making between YBLMM patients and their healthcare providers. The research is structured across three phases: identifying key decision factors through qualitative interviews with 20 YBLMM and 10 providers; designing and refining alpha and beta prototypes of the PDA tool through iterative feedback; and evaluating feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness through a one-arm pilot trial with 40 YBLMM and 10 providers over six months in clinical settings in New York, NY. The project culminates on April 30, 2031, and will generate preliminary data and evidence to support development of a subsequent R-series research grant evaluating PrEP uptake and adherence among this disproportionately affected population. The PDA tool will serve as a concrete research product addressing documented barriers to PrEP adoption, including inequitable patient-provider power dynamics, and will be tailored specifically for YBLMM-provider dyads—a gap identified in existing decision aid literature.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
