Brief Summary:
Though broadening PrEP Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis availability to Louisiana pharmacies addresses key access issues for Louisianas population there is no current baseline data which explore current pharmacist and pharmacies capacity to effectively provide PrEP therapy to patients who meet PrEP prescribing criteria This study aims to explore1 Louisiana pharmacist and pharmacy capacity to provide PrEP under a state-based collaborative practice agreement 2 a validated pharmacist education system addressing health disparities in PrEP prescribing and 3 the impact of state pharmacy based policies on equitable PrEP prescribing Our central hypothesis is pharmacist trained in PrEP prescribing focusing on health disparities and implicit bias education and working with mentors in an implementation framework will have an increase in equitable PrEP prescribing
Detailed Description:
The objective of this application is to create a statewide cohort of dispensing community-based pharmacists that are specifically trained to address health disparities in PrEP Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis prescribing The specific aims of this application are
Aim 1 Complete a rapid pharmacy landscape assessment on PrEP prescribing and maintenance from community pharmacies across Louisiana to measure frequency of PrEP seeking prescribing and follow-up of PrEP initiation Hypothesis 1a Pharmacists in rural parishes counties will have lower overall PrEP prescribing rates compared to their urban and suburban counterparts
Hypothesis 1b PrEP utilization patterns by African Americans Hispanics and Women of all races will have a decreased lack of utilization PrEP compared to their white male counterparts
Aim 2 Measure the impact of a validated pharmacist PrEP training program on pharmacist competence and capacity in PrEP prescribing for CDC recognized target populations The focus of the education will be addressing health disparities and implicit bias in PrEP prescribing
Hypothesis 2Pharmacists who complete the implicit bias and cultural competence training will report a 20 increase in baseline confidence and competence in PrEP prescribing for target vulnerable communities
Aim 3 Measure the impact of an implementation science community-pharmacy based intervention on addressing PrEP prescribing among women African-Americans and Hispanics The impact of the program will implement a state-based PrEP surveillance program housed in the College of Pharmacy comparing PrEP prescribing patterns among trained pharmacists vs clinic based prescribing control as provided by the consortium of health network data housed at the Louisiana Public Health Institute
Hypothesis 3a Trained pharmacists will have a 15 increase in pharmacy PrEP dispensing from baseline vs non-trained pharmacists in the research network
Hypothesis 3b Pharmacy PrEP prescribing among trained pharmacists will represent a 20 increase in minority based prescribing specifically African-American compared to current health network clinic prescribing patterns
