Peer-to-Peer Chain Recruitment for Enrolling Young South African Women into an HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Intervention Study: How Did It Perform?
Peer-to-peer chain recruitment has been used for descriptive studies, but few intervention studies have employed it. We used this method to enroll sexually active women ages 18 to 25 into an online Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) information and motivation intervention pilot in eThekwini (Durban), S...

We used this method to enroll sexually active women ages 18 to 25 into an online Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) information and motivation intervention pilot in eThekwini (Durban), South Africa. Seeds (N = 16) were recruited by study staff and randomized to Masibambane, Ladies Chat, a Gender-Enhanced group-based WhatsApp Workshop (GE), or Individual-Access (IA), a control condition that provided participants with online information/motivation materials only. Each seed could recruit up to three women to participate in the same study condition, with an incentive for each enrolled woman; participants in subsequent waves could choose to recruit or not. We evaluated if peer-to-peer recruitment was self-sustaining and resulted in enrolling women who, in subsequent waves, had less contact with the health care system and less knowledge about PrEP than the initial seeds. Over three recruitment waves beyond the seeds, 84 women were recruited. Almost 90% of women became recruiters, with each recruiting on average 1.90 women and 1.26 eligible enrolled women. The approach was successful at reaching women with less education but not women with less health system contact and PrEP knowledge across waves. IA participants had a slightly higher, though non-significantly different, percentage of individuals who became Peer Health Advocates (PHAs) than GE participants and, on average, they recruited slightly more women who enrolled. Our findings demonstrated that peer-to-peer recruitment is a feasible and self-sustaining way to recruit SA young women into a PrEP intervention study. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
