  • This study compares the costs of two strategies for delivering an online HIV prevention program: centralized direct-to-consumer marketing and decentralized distribution through community-based organizations.
  • In the direct-to-consumer approach, the total costs were significantly lower, averaging $501 per participant, compared to $4,239 per participant in the community-based organization approach.
  • The findings highlight the importance of understanding these cost dynamics to make informed decisions about program sustainability and funding for future implementations.
