NCT ID NCT06876324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a mobile app called HealthMPowerment designed to help Black adolescents and young adults in Alabama take PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Ten teens and their adult supporters will use the app for a few weeks, and researchers will check if it's easy and acceptable to use. The goal is to see if this approach is worth testing in larger studies.
