The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $715,041 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct the "BETTER INFO ON WOMEN'S PREP CHOICES AND OUTCOMES IN MALAWI" study. The goal of this 5-year study is to evaluate longitudinal patterns of oral and long-acting injectable PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) use among women in Malawi, assess decision-making and preferences for PrEP implementation, and co-design strategies to optimize PrEP continuation and re-engagement. The study will leverage an existing PrEP rollout platform in Malawi to better understand real-world PrEP uptake, continuation, and reasons for discontinuation among high-risk women. A sub-award of $95,452 will support the Washington University in St. Louis in providing leadership on adapting and implementing the "BETTERINFO" model for PrEP in Zambia.
