TelePharm PrEP/PEP

7. mai 2026 oppdatert av: Katrina Ortblad, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center

Leveraging Telehealth to Optimize PrEP and PEP Delivery at Pharmacies in Kenya

In this study, the investigators will evaluate whether introducing a remote nurse to screen, counsel, and guide clients through HIV self-testing (via a telehealth platform) and support interested clients (via SMS) between pharmacy visits increases PrEP/PEP initiations and continuation compared to standard PrEP/PEP delivery by pharmacy providers. The investigators hypothesize that pharmacy PrEP/PEP services delivered with telehealth support will result in better service utilization and implementation outcomes compared to standard delivery and be cost-effective to implement.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Participating study pharmacies will be 1:1 randomized 24 pharmacies (n=1,580 clients ≥15 years) to either: 1) telehealth support, where a remote nurse screens, counsels, and guides clients through HIV self-testing (HIVST) and, between visits, communicates with interested clients via 2-way SMS, or 2) standard delivery, where the pharmacy provider performs all delivery tasks and clients are not given additional support. The primary outcomes are PrEP/PEP initiation and continuation, assessed 180 days following clients' first pharmacy PrEP/PEP visit.

Plan for individuelle deltakerdata (IPD)

Planlegger du å dele individuelle deltakerdata (IPD)?

JA

IPD-planbeskrivelse

Participant-level pharmacy record and research data will be shared through deposition of the data in an open-access public repository (Dryad). In addition to sharing the study data publicly, data dictionaries and other tools supporting use of the data will be shared.

IPD-delingstidsramme

De-identified pharmacy record and research data from this study will be deposited in the Dryad data repository within 12 months of publication.

Tilgangskriterier for IPD-deling

The study data will be accessible through the Dryad data repository. For all publications, a dataset will be created that is assigned a digital object identifier (DOI), which will be referenced in the publication so the research community can easily find and access the data, if interested. The Dryad repository can also be searched by topic, institution, and investigator name, which should make it easy for other interested parties to find and access the study data.

Any study data that cannot be shared via Dryad, will be made available through a formal request to the PIs. We will share data and supporting documentation upon request to outside investigators, after scientific review, IRB approval, and obtaining relevant Data Use Agreements.
