Research by Dr. Chris Owens found male providers in the western U.S. who knew PrEP prescribing guidelines were more likely to prescribe this HIV prevention method. “Most PrEP research focuses on providers’ intentions to prescribe while we looked at the determinants of prior prescribing PrEP, finding two main points. First, knowledge is important in better understanding providers’ behaviors in delivering this HIV preventive evidence-based practice. Also, structural factors like laws and access to care—that vary widely between states and regions—might be important in mediating or moderating providers’ prescription habits,” Owens said. https://lnkd.in/gGskvRsc #TAMUHealth #TIPH #ASPPH #TIPH #PublicHealth #12thForHealth #Prep #HIVprevention #12thForHealth
