The division of Adolescent Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics is seeking 2 casual Research Program Coordinator (RPC) positions. The successful candidates will have oversight of operations of patient-facing decision support for HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention in low-income and minority patient populations, funded by an AHRQ K01 grant. This program focuses on addressing barriers to making healthy decisions that are core to sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention among urban adolescents and young adults (AYA). Specifically, communicating with sex partners and health providers about STI testing, including for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), connecting to scientifically accurate STI/HIV informational resources that are culturally and linguistically appropriate, and utilizing the clinical services available to prevent new infections. Using a design thinking framework, we will a) Characterize AYA's use of electronic health record (EHR) patient portals and determine the correlates and patterns of longitudinal use; b) Build a patient-centered clinical decision support tool that leverages the EHR patient portal system to optimize patient engagement in STI/HIV prevention behaviors among urban AYA, and c) Pilot test the intervention among urban adolescents residing in an STI/HIV prevalent community. The RPC will work with the Principal Investigator to coordinate the aims of the project. The RPC will also support the coordination of activities with additional research and project staff such as work study and research students and other part-time research assistants.
