Abstract
Identification of disparity in preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescription by demographic group. Exploratory descriptive study. Secondary data analysis of 1114 patients who received PrEP from Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM) between 2017 and 2020. 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. Discrepancy of PrEP prescription reveals opportunities to improve PrEP delivery. Providers of PrEP delivery and community health nurses can enhance delivery by better electronic medical charting regarding PrEP discussion and nonadherence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
