Article Abstract
Purpose: Parents' attitudes toward contraceptive delivery methods have been shown to impact their adolescents' use of contraceptive methods. However, little is known about the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery method attitudes of parents of sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents assigned male at birth (AMAB). This exploratory, mixed-method formative study examined the PrEP delivery method preferences among a convenience sample of 33 parents of SGM adolescents AMAB who live in Texas.
Methods: Participants completed an online survey, where they selected their preferred PrEP method for their SGM adolescent AMAB to use: PrEP as a daily oral pill, a bimonthly injectable, or a yearly implant. Parents answered an open-ended question about their reasons for choosing their preferred method. We analyzed data through descriptive statistics and inductive content analysis.
Results: Findings from this convenience sample suggest that there is not one PrEP delivery method that parents of SGM adolescents AMAB prefer: one third of parents (33.3%) selected PrEP as a daily oral pill, 45.5% selected PrEP as a bimonthly injectable, and 21.2% selected PrEP as an annual implant. Parents cited multiple reasons for selecting a delivery method over another, with the most prevalent reasons being adherence (57.6%), access or cost (21.2%), and generic convenience or ease (21.2%).
Discussion: Findings from this formative exploratory study sets the stage for future research and intervention development in increasing parental knowledge, preferences, and preference motivations for PrEP delivery methods.

Triage approaches for treating individuals in disaster settings historically have been focused on identifying acute decompensation, injuries, and death. For displaced populations that had limited function prior to ta disaster event, the emphasis during and after a disaster becomes identification of the proper level of support needed to survive in a shelter and selection of an appropriate post-shelter destination. The US Public Health Service Rapid Deployment Force team PHS-1 developed tools to address the needs of such displaced populations.

During the years 2005-2018, the US Public Health Service (PHS) deployed teams, known as Rapid Deployment Forces (RDF), as a component of disaster response. One component of the disaster response was for a PHS RDF to establish a Federal Medical Station and work with other federal and civilian partners to provide health care to individuals with chronic medical conditions that routinely required additional support for activities of daily living. These individuals were usually housed in private residences or residential facilities and were displaced by the disaster.

Introduction: Key populations (KP), including men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers, transgender people and people in closed settings, are disproportionately affected by HIV and face structural and legal barriers to care. While community-led responses are central to reaching KP, services are often disease-specific and disconnected from national primary healthcare (PHC) systems. PHC, defined by WHO as a whole-of-society approach to delivering integrated and person-centred services, is rarely designed to meet the broader health needs of KP, who also experience high burdens of non-communicable diseases, mental health conditions and violence.

Introduction: Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) at risk of HIV frequently have symptoms of common mental disorders (CMDs), which are associated with lower pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence. We conducted a pilot hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial (CHOMA) to evaluate whether an evidence-based mental health intervention adapted for PrEP delivery ("Youth Friendship Bench SA") could address CMD and PrEP adherence among South African AGYW.
Methods: CHOMA was conducted in Johannesburg from April 2023 to February 2024.

Timely access to blood products is essential in disaster medicine and pre-hospital emergency care. Natural and man-made disasters often render roads unusable, impeding traditional logistics. In such settings, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a viable alternative due to their mobility and speed.
