Remote PrEP
Research Study

Researchers at The Fenway Institute are conducting a study with young people ages 15–24 to learn more about their experiences talking with healthcare providers about PrEP and sexual health. What we learn will help young people develop training for healthcare providers on how to make clinics more welcoming and supportive for people their age.

Additional Information

We want to better understand what young people do and do not like about going to a clinic to talk about PrEP and their sexual health. What we learn will help young people create training for healthcare providers to improve the clinic experience for people their age.
