From Trials to Public Health Impact: Transportability of Causal Effects to Inform Implementation of HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis

Megha Mehrotra, Doctoral Candidate, Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, University of San Francisco, California

The recent formalization of the transportability framework presents a promising opportunity to improve the translation of evidence from clinical trials into real-world impact.  In this talk, I discuss how transportability theory can be used to address a variety of salient and ubiquitous challenges in health research.  I apply these methods to address several questions regarding the implementation of HIV preexposure prophylaxis.
