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.
