The key objectives are to: (1) refine a PrEP service dashboard with clinic performance metrics and assess on-site readiness to improve adoption; (2) evaluate implementation outcomes associated with the PROTECT AL initiative; and (3) assess the public health impact by conducting an interrupted time-series study of local PrEP to need ratio and PrEP coverage. This multi-phase, mixed-methods implementation study will engage key informants from seven collaborating clinics to address gaps in PrEP care and expand access in high HIV incidence areas.
