Prep implementation and Sexual Health Trainings

HART works with Health Departments, Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Organizations, Community-Based Clinics and other Health Care Providers across the country to support PrEP implementation and the integration of high-quality sexual health services into comprehensive care. Each of the resources and trainings below have emerged out of our implementation science research and are informed by both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as our experience supporting and learning from our community-based collaborators.  

PrEP PRogram Builder

The PrEP Program Builder is a set of web-based tools and customizable resources designed to help implementers who are working to develop or enhance PrEP services at their clinical setting. Click on the link below to view draft protocols, checklists, education materials, and tracking systems that can promote highest-quality, equity-driven PrEP program development and delivery.

The PrEP Program Builder is part of the BLUPrInt Project (R01MH123262, Golub/Meyers, MPI), which synthesize key research findings, best practices, and implementation resources to promote highest-quality, equity-driven PrEP program development and delivery.

GOALS Sexual History

The GOALS Approach to Sexual History trains providers on a new strategy for sexual history that makes the process faster, easier, and more effective. GOALS eliminates unnecessary, awkward and burdensome “risk assessment” questions, focusing on normalizing sexual health and promoting universal, opt-out screening for all patients. The GOALS Approach is superior to traditional sexual health models because it: is more efficient, reduces implicit bias, is explicitly non-stigmatizing, and actively enhances the patient-provider relationship.

The GOALS Approach was developed by Dr. Golub in collaboration with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). You can download a summary and pocket guide on the New York State AIDS Institute Website, or take the full self-paced CME on-line course through the South East AIDS Education and Training Center.

BEST Practices Training

The Best Practices in PrEP/PEP Education and Counseling Training is designed to train front-line staff (e.g., patient navigators, HIV test counselors, other prevention counselors) to provide education and support to their clients. 

The training was developed by Dr. Golub in collaboration with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) Bureau of HIV, and is provided by the DOHMH Training and Technical Assistance Program (TTAP). You can learn more on the NYC DOHMH webpage.
