Acceptability and Effectiveness of a One-Hour Healthcare Provider Intervention Integrating HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and Cultural Competence Training.

View Abstract

Enhanced provider training could improve PrEP access and equity. We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing (a) a one-hour, group-based provider intervention integrating PrEP and Cultural Competence (PCC) training with (b) a standard HIV continuing medical education session (n = 56). PCC participants favorably rated the intervention and reported increased PrEP knowledge. The PCC intervention increased their confidence performing PrEP-related clinical activities and intention to prescribe PrEP. The percentage of participants discussing PrEP with patients increased marginally in both study conditions. The percentage of participants who prescribed PrEP and self-rated cultural competence did not change in either study condition.
