Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in PrEP Engagement, as measured by the PrEP cascade questionnaireBaseline, 3 months, 6 months

This will be assessed using the PrEP cascade measure, which specified five "levels" of PrEP engagement (i.e., pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance). We will evaluate this outcome as an ordered-categorical outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Recent (within the last 3 months) HIV testingBaseline, 3 months, 6 months

Participants will answer a question about being tested in the past three months. A score of 1 means that the participant received at HIV test in the last three months. A score of 0 means the participant did not.

Change in Behavioral Health Treatment Engagement, as measured by the Behavioral health cascade questionnaire (based on the Psychosocial Treatment Inventory)Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

We will use a modified version of the Psychosocial Treatment Inventory to assess participants' engagement with behavioral health treatment (inclusive of mental health or substance use treatment). This measure evaluates five "levels" of behavioral health treatment engagement (i.e., pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance). We will evaluate this outcome as an ordered-categorical outcome.
