简要总结
The aim is to conduct two virtual focus groups (10 participants in each group) with 20 pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-eligible Black women in Houston and Austin, TX. Participants will be assigned to focus groups with other women based on their position about PrEP uptake (considered use versus not considered use). Focus group questions will build on an ecologic model framework to inquire about participant's intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community-level factors that influence access to and use of HIV prevention services. This strategy aims to examine potential barriers to PrEP uptake among PrEP-eligible women in two Texas' hotspots.

结局指标
主要结局
Barriers to readiness to adopt PrEP
时间窗: during the focus group
A focus group will be used to identify barriers to readiness to adopt PrEP (a focus group is a group interview among the study participants with the purpose of collecting information about a topic, in this case barriers to readiness to adopt PrEP). During the focus group, focus group participants will be asked to indicate barriers to readiness to adopt PrEP, and these barriers to readiness will be recorded at the time of the focus group. These barriers to readiness identified during the focus group will be reported categorically.
Facilitators to readiness to adopt PrEP
时间窗: during the focus group
A focus group will be used to identify facilitators to readiness to adopt PrEP (a focus group is a group interview among the study participants with the purpose of collecting information about a topic, in this case facilitators to readiness to adopt PrEP). During the focus group, focus group participants will be asked to indicate facilitators to readiness to adopt PrEP, and these facilitators to readiness will be recorded at the time of the focus group. These facilitators to readiness identified during the focus group will be reported categorically.
