Participant Flow

This Alabama study involved 4 family medicine residency programs across 5 clinical sites. We contacted 10 of 11 known programs (as of 2023); 4 agreed to participate. Three others had participated in earlier phases but lacked sufficient resident turnover to participate further. Partner sites delivered the intervention training, and trained residents could opt into study participation by completing baseline/exit surveys or in-depth interviews.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Due to a technical error in the questionnaire software, among the 32 exit questionnaire participants, 17 completed the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness measures.

Feasibility of Intervention: 4 items, 5-point Likert scale, scale values range from 1-5 with higher score meaning more feasible to implement

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: N=32 out of 46 pilot test participants chose to take the exit questionnaire.

Measured by baseline and 6-month (pre- and post-training) surveys; scores range from 0-100% based on the percentage of participants who answered all five questions related to HIV epidemiology correctly; higher percentages indicate that more participants knew the correct answer to all 5 HIV epidemiology questions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: N=32 out of 46 pilot test participants chose to take the exit questionnaire. Baseline and Exit questionnaires were scored looking only at participants who completed both.

Measured by baseline survey. Sexual history taking knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. 23 questions split into four subscales on 3-point Likert scale; each subscale score is the mean of the scores from the questions in the scale. Subscales: Attitudes (4 items), Skills (14), Barriers (2), Training (3). Strongly agree/Somewhat agree = 3, Neither agree nor disagree = 2, Strongly disagree/Somewhat disagree = 1 Higher score on 1-3 range indicates more positive attitude towards sexual history assessment, higher skill, more barriers, and better training.

measured by baseline and 6-month (pre- and post-training) surveys, qualitative interviews, EMR data. The score ranges for each subscale varied (PrEP knowledge=0-20, attitudes=0-28, and beliefs=0-8), with high values on each subscale representing good knowledge or positive attitudes toward PrEP, respectively.

Percent of participants (providers) who reported they assessed sexual history and/or tested clients for STIs in the past week at least some of the time, by group (AGYW/ABYM). "At least some of the time" = answering "some, many, most, or all" (vs "none") to questions formatted like: Among the \[AGYW/ABYM\] seen last week, for about how many did you \[assess sex Hx/test for STIs\]? measured by BL and 6-month surveys, IDIs, EMR data; BL=baseline; AGYW=adolescent girls and young women (ages 14-24); ABYM=adolescent boys and young men (ages 14-24); sex Hx=assessed for sexual history; past wk=past 7 days
