Assessing Healthcare Utilization Postpharmacist Contraception Prescribing Among College-Aged Students.
Background: Pharmacists have expanded contraceptive access through contraceptive prescribing. Concerns exist that patients will forego healthcare visits.
Objective(s): Describe the intended and actual use of healthcare services by college-aged students utilizing pharmacy contraceptive prescribing.
Study design: Prospective; observational; survey-based (baseline; 6- and 12-month).
Results: Thirty-three participants completed a baseline survey; 25 (76%) completed the 6-month survey; 17 (68%) completed the 12-month survey. At baseline, 23 (70%) intended to see a healthcare provider within 1-3 years. At 6- and 12-months, just over 30% had visited a primary health care provider (n = 8, 32% and n = 6, 35%, respectively).
Conclusion(s): Healthcare utilization rates of participants were similar to published rates for preventative services by college students. Pharmacist prescribing is an additional access point for contraceptive care and provides an opportunity to refer students for recommended preventive services.
