Health Coach Intervention
The intervention integrates a PrEP-focused health coach into Unlocking Doors' re-entry services. The health coach provides clients with general health guidance, sexual health education, HIV and syphilis testing, PrEP education, PrEP eligibility screening, and linkage to PrEP care. The coach also offers ongoing navigation and referrals to medical, behavioral health, and re-entry services as needed. The aim of the intervention is to increase PrEP awareness, interest, and uptake among justice-involved individuals while assessing feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of embedding a health coach within legal re-entry services.
