ABSTRACT Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a valuable tool to help end HIV, but persistent PrEP use is low amongst adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), who are at high risk for HIV. To improve persistent PrEP use in AGYW, more research is needed to understand what drives their decisions to continue with PrEP.
Key Findings This evaluation found that eLearning can be an effective training approach for diverse health care provider cadres, including community health workers and pharmacists, as demonstrated by high scores on the subcutaneous DMPA knowledge assessment and good injection proficiency (measured by health care worker’s implementation of the 4 critical steps). Post-training supervision for eLearning trainees was found to be crucial.
