The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded Yale University $190,987 on August 1, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to develop and pilot test a digital shared decision-making tool that supports HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among adolescents and young adults with unhealthy substance use. The award funds adaptation and pilot testing of a structured decision aid—a theory-driven, youth-informed digital tool—designed to enhance PrEP decision-making within healthcare settings where this population already receives sexual health services. The project addresses a gap in PrEP uptake among adolescents and young adults despite their disproportionate burden of new HIV infections and despite PrEP's effectiveness in preventing infection. The decision aid integrates shared decision-making principles to align PrEP delivery with patient values and preferences, with the aim of reducing HIV transmission risk among this population. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. Work is performed in New Haven, Connecticut. This is a Project Grant, a form of assistance funding that supports a discrete research project for a specified period.
