Position Summary PrEP for WINGS is a study funded by the National Institutes on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, to implement and evaluate a mobile health intervention to increase HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation, reduce hazardous alcohol use, and reduce intimate partner violence among women in community supervision programs including probation, parole and alternative-to-incarceration programs in New York City. This intervention is the first PrEP mobile health tool that synergistically addresses intimate partner violence, and alcohol-related barriers to PrEP initiation with novel peer navigation and service linkage. The study will be evaluated through a hybrid type 1 effectiveness and implementation randomized controlled trial and will involve strong collaboration with community organizations across New York City dedicated to improving the health of women impacted by the criminal legal system. The PrEP for WINGS intervention involves three computer-based self‑paced intervention sessions using Qualtrics. In addition, intervention participants will work with a Community Health Advocate who provides peer navigation and linkage to social services, with a particular focus on sexual health services, intimate partner violence services, and substance use services. Each Community Health Advocate is a person with living experience of the issues faced by participants and will be hired from a local non‑profit organization.
