Plain Language Objectives

The researchers interviewed people who had implemented PrEP programs in different types of health care settings to learn what helped, what caused problems, and how organizations adapted.

Plain Language Abstract

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, has been integrated successfully in some clinical settings but not others. Working with the New York City health department and a planning group, researchers interviewed 20 people who had implemented PrEP programs in settings such as primary care, emergency departments, and sexual health clinics. The sample initially emphasized New York and later expanded nationally to include more program types. Participants discussed implementation conditions and strategies in closely connected, context-specific ways. Common issues included whether staff felt a strong need for change, whether PrEP fit existing services, its priority relative to other work, staff and stakeholder knowledge and beliefs, and the costs of implementation. These qualitative findings describe patterns across experienced programs but do not rank strategies or test which one caused better uptake. The authors concluded that formal implementation research should be connected more closely to how frontline implementers understand and carry out their work. Local context remains important when organizations choose and adapt strategies.

Key Takeaways

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Welcome to the Dashboard

This dashboard provides an accessible way to explore national and jurisdictional findings from implementation science research supporting the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. The homepage gives you quick access to major sections of the site and highlights key insights drawn from ongoing research and community partnerships.

Navigation Bar

At the top of the page, you’ll find four main sections that guide your experience:

  • About explains the purpose of the dashboard, the research framework guiding this project, and how to interpret the data and publications included here.
  • Results presents visual summaries, charts, and findings from implementation science activities conducted across EHE jurisdictions.
  • Publications provides access to peer-reviewed articles, research outputs, and additional documentation relevant to EHE implementation science.
  • Community highlights survey findings, community partnerships, and engagement activities that support and shape local EHE strategies.

Search Function

Use the search bar at the top of the page to look up specific topics, terms, research areas, or publications. This search function scans the entire dashboard, making it easier to find exactly what you need.

Featured Carousel

At the center of the homepage is a rotating feature carousel that highlights key insights and featured data stories. Each panel includes a brief summary of the topic and an Explore button. Selecting Explore takes you directly into the corresponding area of the site—such as community partnerships, implementation outcomes, or specific research summaries—so you can dive deeper into the data.
