PrEP Readiness Interventions for Supporting Motivation (PRISM)

June 10, 2025 updated by: Adam Carrico, PhD, Florida International University

PrEP Readiness Interventions for Supporting Motivation in Stimulant-Using Sexual Minority Men

The overarching goal of this formative research is to examine whether, and in what combination, contingency management (CM) and motivational interviewing (MI) can facilitate entry of stimulant-using men who have sex with men (MSM) into the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In Stage 1, participants will be randomized to receive either: 1) three months of CM; or 2) two sessions of MI. All participants will be assessed at three months post-randomization for non-response. In Stage 2, a second randomization where non-responders (i.e., those who have not filled a PrEP prescription) are assigned to: 1) Switch to sequentially receive the other intervention (i.e., CM+MI or MI+CM); or 2) Continue with assessments only (i.e., CM-Only or MI-Only). All participants will complete a final assessment at 6 months.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Sexually active cisgender sexual minority man
  • Reports using stimulants in the past three months

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Participants Filling a Prescription for PrEP
Time Frame: 6 Months
The proportion of participants who provide evidence that they have filled a PrEP prescription
6 Months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Participants Who Self-report PrEP Clinical Evaluation by a Medical Provider
Time Frame: 6 Months
The proportion of participants reporting that they attended a medical appointment to be evaluated for PrEP.
6 Months
Clinical Cut Points for Self-reported Methamphetamine Use Severity
Time Frame: 6 months
Participants will complete the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), which provides validated composite scores indexing the severity of methamphetamine use (Mild = 0-3; Moderate = 4-26; Severe = 27 or greater).
6 months
Proportion of Participants Who Reported Receptive Condomless Anal Sex (Receptive CAS)
Time Frame: 6 months
Participants will complete a detailed behavioral assessment to report the number of men with whom they have had receptive CAS. The proportion of participants reporting any receptive CAS will be reported.
6 months
Proportion of Participants Who Reported Insertive Condomless Anal Sex (Insertive CAS)
Time Frame: 6 months
