Acceptance-Based Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Intervention (ACTPrEP) to Engage Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men in the Southern United States: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05087680 (An Acceptance Based PrEP Intervention to Engage Young Black MSM in the South), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundGiven the high rates of HIV infection among young Black men who have sex with men in Jackson, Mississippi, and the underuse of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in this population, there is a critical need for innovative interventions to promote PrEP use. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a promising intervention for health behavior change.
objectiveThis study aims to develop and test an intervention, ACTPrEP, to increase PrEP use among young Black men who have sex with men.
methodsWe conducted in-depth interviews with 20 young Black men who have sex with men and 10 PrEP staff to inform the development of ACTPrEP, an intervention that uses ACT to improve PrEP use. Specific ACTPrEP adaptations from the qualitative interviews included service settings (interventionists should be PrEP informed and well-integrated), target audiences (provide check-in calls, be caring, and authentically relate), modes of delivery (flexible delivery), and cultural adaptation (normalize PrEP use). A pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of ACTPrEP compared to that of Enhanced Standard of Care in promoting PrEP use among young Black men who have sex with men (N=66). We will specifically evaluate group differences in the proportion of participants who initiate PrEP, PrEP adherence, and PrEP persistence. Measures will be collected at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks.
resultsResearch activities began in September 2023 and will be ongoing through June 2026. Preliminary findings are anticipated to be available in late 2026.
conclusionsThis study will inform the development of a larger randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of ACTPrEP for increasing PrEP use among young Black men who have sex with men.
