Pepped on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): A Counseling and Problem-Solving PrEP Adherence Intervention for Stimulant Using Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM).
July 9, 2018 updated by: Matthew Mimiaga, Brown University
Pepped on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): Pilot-randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to Assess the Feasibility/Acceptability of the Pepped-for-PrEP Package (Counseling and Problem-solving PrEP Adherence Intervention With Behavioral Activation (BA) Approach) Among Stimulant Abusing MSM.
Pepped on PrEP is an innovative pilot RCT designed by an interdisciplinary team to develop a counseling and problem-solving PrEP adherence intervention with a Behavioral Activation (BA) approach that aims to re-engage participants in safe but pleasurable activities in life and addresses stimulant-abuse as well as associated factors including depression, as barriers to optimal PrEP adherence.

Detailed Description
Enrolled participants will receive a referral to the Miriam Hospital for standard of care PrEP treatment.
Once prescribed PrEP through the Miriam Hospital, the study participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions.
In the intervention condition, participants will receive a two-stepped intervention which could include up to 10 free BA and risk reduction (RR) counseling sessions.
Participants assigned to the comparison condition will receive the standard of care for PrEP treatment at the Miriam Hospital, which includes information about PrEP and how to obtain it, assistance from medical staff in obtaining health insurance for study participants, and information regarding local community resources.

---|---|
Experimental: Pepped on PrEP
Using an efficient stepped care ("adaptive") model, all participants will receive three sessions of PrEP-STEPS counseling for PrEP adherence delivered by a Masters-level or above therapist.
Some individuals may require a more intensive approach.
These participants will receive an additional seven counseling sessions of behavioral activation with integrated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) designed to reduce stimulant use and promote positive behaviors.
