Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Young Adult Centered HealthForce Training (YACHT) package in 41 Florida Department of Health (FDOH) contracted Counseling, Testing, and Referral (CTR) agencies across six Florida End the Epidemic (EHE) counties. Agencies will be cluster-stratified and randomized to either the YACHT intervention (20 agencies) or a comparison group (21 agencies). The primary effectiveness outcome is the number of HIV tests administered to young men who have sex with men (YMSM), and the primary implementation outcome is providers' fidelity to evidence-based practices (EBPs), including risk reduction counseling and PrEP referrals, as measured through mystery shopper assessments and agency-level data obtained from the Florida Department of Health. The study also includes qualitative interviews with agency representatives to identify barriers and facilitators to successful implementation of youth-specific EBPs within HIV CTR settings.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Workforce Development (WD) strategies

Workforce Development (WD) strategies includes agency-tailored problem-solving and development of quality improvement strategies based on MS feedback reports. The effectiveness of workforce development within the provider population will be assessed through qualitative interviews. Agencies will have access to ongoing virtual TMI training and final MS feedback at the end of the study.

BEHAVIORAL

Quality Management (QM) and Mystery Shopper (MS) Feedback

During this intervention, mystery shoppers will visit each agency twice per quarter to systematically examine testing clinics' environmental characteristics and their experiences with clinic staff on a variety of domains. The mystery shopper agency assessment outcomes will be measured through agency specific, aggregate data requested from FDOH that addresses the primary effectiveness outcome of the number of HIV tests among YMSM. Agencies will have access to ongoing virtual TMI training and final MS feedback at the end of the study.
