About this study

This study aims to improve integrated delivery of PrEP to women seeking health services in maternal and child health clinics by piloting and evaluating four strategies or bundles of strategies for optimized PrEP delivery. Strategies to be tested include three packages of strategies identified by stakeholders.

PrEP Optimization Interventions

Other

There were three bundles of strategies tested determined based on the qualitative information gathered in Aim 1 by stakeholders

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in PrEP Penetration

    Time frame: 6 months

    Proportion of women who are screened for PrEP / total women receiving antenatal or postnatal services

  2. Change in PrEP Fidelity

    Time frame: 6 months

    Proportion of women who receive all PrEP specific steps in a visit: HIV testing, HIV risk screening, PrEP counseling. Assessed among the subset of women who are due for an HIV test, as per Kenyan guidelines, which is a subset of the overall sample.

  3. Timeliness of Services

    Time frame: 6 months

    Time (minutes) spent receiving services from health care workers

  4. Waiting Time

    Time frame: 6 months

    Time (minutes) spent waiting to receive services

  5. HCW Acceptability

    Time frame: 6 months

    Total on 4 item Acceptability of Intervention Measures (AIM) score, 1 (Completely disagree) to 5 (Completely Agree) Likert scale. The minimum score on the 4 items is 4 points (scoring 1 on each of the 4 items) while the maximum is 20 points (scoring 5 on each of the 4 items). A higher score indicates a better outcome. The sub-scores on each of the 4 items are summed.

  6. Health Care Worker (HCW) Appropriateness

    Time frame: 6 months

    Total on 4 item Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) score, 1 (Completely disagree) to 5 (Completely Agree) Likert scale. The minimum score on the 4 items is 4 points (scoring 1 on each of the 4 items) while the maximum is 20 points (scoring 5 on each of the 4 items). A higher score indicates a better outcome. The sub-scores on each of the 4 items are summed.

  7. Client Satisfaction

    Time frame: 6 months

    Total on 7 item exit survey of clients to assess their satisfaction with services received at the facility, 1 (worse) to 4 (better) scale. The minimum score on the 7 items is 7 points (scoring 1 on each of the 7 items) while the maximum is 24 points (scoring 4 on each of the 7 items). A higher score indicates a better outcome. The sub-scores on each of the 4 items are summed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. PrEP Uptake

    Time frame: 6 months

    Proportion of women who accept PrEP among those offered

  2. PrEP Continuation

    Time frame: 6 months

    Proportion of women who present for a refill among those initially prescribed PrEP

  3. Client PrEP Knowledge

    Time frame: 6 months

    Number of participants with perfect knowledge on PrEP information questions based on content covered in counseling sessions

  4. PrEP Adherence

    Time frame: 6 months

    Proportion of women who have >80 percent adherence to PrEP by pill count among those initially prescribed PrEP

  5. PrEP Efficiency

    Time frame: 6 months

    Patient flow mapping to identify more efficient client flows with fewer transitions between physical spaces and providers
