Abstract

Description: This activity prompted pharmacy students to analyze a Los Angeles Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LA LGBT) Center-generated "F**k w/out fear" HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) billboard campaign. Students shared their thoughts after viewing the billboard (initial reactions); if the billboard was offensive (Yes/No); if the billboard effectively raises awareness about sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention (Yes/No); and if they believed pharmacy school is an appropriate place to discuss this topic (Yes/No). Students also provided open-ended responses directed to the campaign's developer(s). Students received points toward their grades for participation. Key Findings: Sixty-one of 62 pharmacy students responded to the HIV PrEP billboard-related questions (98%). Approximately one-fourth of the students identified as male (27%), with less than half not earning a Bachelor's degree (44%) nor having pharmacy experience (41%) prior to pharmacy school. Students' mean and median ages were 28 and 25 years old, respectively. "Age" as an independent variable statistically significantly predicted whether students felt the billboard effectively raises awareness of STI prevention; the older the students, the greater the belief in its effectiveness. No variables statistically significantly predicted if students took offense to the billboard's message. Conclusions: Pharmacy students held varying views toward the "F**k w/out fear" HIV PrEP billboard campaign and disparate beliefs in its ability to help curb STIs. Students gave feedback that explained their stances and unanimously agreed that this topic is appropriate for pharmacy school. Pharmacy programs can implement similar methods to gauge their students' analyses of unorthodox approaches to public health dilemmas.

药学院学生对艾滋病暴露前预防广告宣传的看法。
说明:这项活动促使药学院学生分析洛杉矶女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者(LA LGBT)中心制作的 "F**k w/out fear "艾滋病暴露前预防(PrEP)广告牌活动。学生们分享了他们观看广告牌后的想法(初步反应);广告牌是否具有攻击性(是/否);广告牌是否有效地提高了人们对性传播感染(STI)预防的认识(是/否);以及他们是否认为药学院是讨论这一话题的合适场所(是/否)。学生们还针对活动开发人员提供了开放式回答。学生的参与为他们的成绩加分。主要结果:62 名药学院学生中有 61 名回答了与 HIV PrEP 广告牌相关的问题(98%)。约四分之一的学生认为自己是男生(27%),不到一半的学生没有获得学士学位(44%),在就读药学院之前也没有药学工作经验(41%)。学生的平均年龄和中位年龄分别为 28 岁和 25 岁。"年龄 "作为一个自变量,对学生是否认为广告牌有效提高了性传播感染预防意识有显著的统计学预测作用;学生年龄越大,越相信广告牌的有效性。在统计上,没有任何变量能显著预测学生是否对广告牌的信息感到反感。结论:药剂学专业的学生对 "F**k w/out fear "HIV PrEP广告牌活动持有不同的观点,对其帮助遏制性传播疾病的能力也持有不同的看法。学生们的反馈解释了他们的立场,并一致认为这个话题适合药学院。药剂学课程可以采用类似的方法来衡量学生对公共卫生困境的非正统方法的分析。
