Congratulations to our PI, @romanshre who was honored last Friday at a ceremony for the Provost’s Awards for Excellence in Community-Engaged Scholarship! This award recognizes his engagement with and for marginalized communities through intervention research.
Preliminary results from our RCT on the #JomPrEP mobile app, presented by our PI @romanshre at #HIVR4P, show that the intervention has facilitated regular HIV testing and PrEP initiation among MSM in Malaysia. Promising findings for scalable HIV prevention!
Our PI @romanshre has received @UConn_InCHIP Faculty Seed Grant to support a project using mobile-based EMA to predict short-term suicidal thoughts and behaviors among GBMSM individuals.
