PEP/PrEP Via Pharmacist-Prescribing Implementation (PEPPI)
Purpose
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of the PEPPI software can improve pharmacist-provided HIV prevention (PEP/PrEP) services. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the PEPPI software make it easier for pharmacists to provide PEP/PrEP services in their pharmacy? 2. Does the PEPPI software make it easier for patients to access PEP/PrEP? Researchers will compare pharmacists' implementation and patients' access when using the PEPPI software and when not using the PEPPI software to see if the software improves implementation and access. Participants will include pharmacists and patients. Pharmacists will be asked to provide PEP/PrEP services as normal while using the PEPPI software. Patients will be asked to receive PEP/PrEP services from a pharmacist as normal, while using the PEPPI software.

Other PEPPI Pharmacies |
This is a single-arm trial, so all pharmacies will serve as their own control. We will enroll 10 community pharmacies. These 10 pharmacies will continue to provide PEP/PrEP services as normal for several months (control). Then, we will introduce the first phase of the intervention: the minimally viable product (MVP) version of the PEPPI software. The second phase of the intervention will be the enhanced version of the PEPPI software. The pharmacies will continue to provide PEP/PrEP services while using the PEPPI software in place of any paper or electronic processes that they were previously using. The results will then be compared between the control and the intervention periods. |
