The objective of this article is to describe Project PrIDE (PrEP Implementation, Data to Care, and Evaluation) through the lens of Evaluation Utilization and provide examples of how twelve funded health departments (HD) utilized evaluation findings to make decisions related to improving PrEP awareness and uptake, and/or enhancing capacity for data to care (D2C) activities. Each HD conducted a local evaluation (LE) and reported ongoing and planned utilization of evaluation findings in the final LE reports. Information from all reports was abstracted for qualitative analysis to identify main evaluation utilization themes. Findings showed that program evaluation was incorporated as early as the project development phase and designed with the goal of improving, and not just demonstrating the efficacy of the programs. Evaluation data were effectively utilized to improve PrEP and D2C activities, for example, by increasing community engagement throughout LEs, enhancing social media implementation, prioritizing the most effective referral sources at re-linking clients into HIV care, reducing client wait time between receiving PrEP referral and obtaining appointment with provider, and incorporating evaluation findings into program planning and development. Project PrIDE highlights the importance of a planned evaluation in providing ongoing improvements to HIV prevention services to better serve priority populations.

本文的目的是通过评估利用的视角来描述 Project PrIDE（PrEP 实施、护理数据和评估），并举例说明 12 个受资助的卫生部门 (HD) 如何利用评估结果做出与提高 PrEP 意识相关的决策和/或提高数据关怀 (D2C) 活动的能力。每个 HD 都进行了本地评估 (LE)，并在最终的 LE 报告中报告了评估结果的持续和计划使用情况。从所有报告中提取信息进行定性分析，以确定主要的评估利用主题。调查结果表明，项目评估早在项目开发阶段就被纳入，其设计目标是改进，而不仅仅是展示项目的有效性。评估数据被有效地用于改善 PrEP 和 D2C 活动，例如，通过提高整个 LE 的社区参与度、加强社交媒体的实施、优先考虑最有效的转诊来源以将客户重新连接到 HIV 护理、减少客户在接受 PrEP 转诊之间的等待时间并获得提供者的预约，并将评估结果纳入计划规划和开发中。Project PrIDE 强调了有计划的评估在持续改进 HIV 预防服务以更好地服务于重点人群方面的重要性。减少客户在接受 PrEP 转介和获得提供者预约之间的等待时间，并将评估结果纳入计划规划和开发。Project PrIDE 强调了有计划的评估在持续改进 HIV 预防服务以更好地服务于重点人群方面的重要性。减少客户在接受 PrEP 转介和获得提供者预约之间的等待时间，并将评估结果纳入计划规划和开发。Project PrIDE 强调了有计划的评估在持续改进 HIV 预防服务以更好地服务于重点人群方面的重要性。
