This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to develop, pilot, and evaluate a multilevel intervention that combines a refined media campaign and peer-based strategy to promote pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among young Latino sexual minority men. The $186,840 award, effective from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2028, will be administered by the University of Chicago. The intervention will leverage social network analysis to address multilevel barriers to PrEP access and use within this marginalized population. The project will provide the principal investigator with training and mentored experience in social network analysis, multilevel intervention development, and implementation science, laying the groundwork for a future randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of the multilevel approach to increase PrEP use among young Latino sexual minority men.
