Abstract
Purpose: Identification of disparity in preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescription by demographic group.
Design: Exploratory descriptive study.
Methods: Secondary data analysis of 1114 patients who received PrEP from Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM) between 2017 and 2020.
Findings: Persons of Asian racial-identity had a higher mean PrEP prescription than the other racial groups. Persons over 30 had a higher mean PrEP prescription than those 18-29.
Conclusions: Discrepancy of PrEP prescription reveals opportunities to improve PrEP delivery.
Clinical evidence: Providers of PrEP delivery and community health nurses can enhance delivery by better electronic medical charting regarding PrEP discussion and nonadherence.
期刊介绍:
This innovative publication focuses on health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice -- home health care, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education, and public health administration. Well-researched articles provide practical and up-to-date information to aid the nurse who must frequently make decisions and solve problems without the back-up support systems available in the hospital. The journal is a forum for community health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in the field.
