Participant Flow

Patient participants were recruited from a Federally Qualified Health Care Center (FQHC) (Site 1) and an HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic (Site 2) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama from March 2022-June 2024. First patient participant was enrolled March 7, 2022; last participant was enrolled in June 27, 2024.

Patient: Cultural Adaptation of a Patient-Provider Communication Tool
The goal of the intervention is to strengthen the PrEP care continuum by developing and testing a culturally adapted patient-provider communication tool designed to improve PrEP awareness, screening, engagement, retention, adherence, and persistence among individuals at increased risk for HIV seroconversion. Specifically, the intervention aims to reduce racial and gender disparities in PrEP uptake and use. Each enrolled patient participant took part in a pilot study evaluating a patient-provider communication tool adapted for PrEP uptake among women and their healthcare providers, using a pre-post intervention design. Participating healthcare providers discussed PrEP with participants using the communication tool.

To determine intervention acceptability using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), an 8-item instrument that measures patient participants' perceived value of the intervention. The CSQ-8 generates a total score by summing individual item responses, with possible scores ranging from 8 to 32, where higher scores reflect greater treatment satisfaction.

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed for this outcome measure includes the number of eligible patients referred to PrEP at our primary partnering clinic site (i.e., Site 1) after the intervention as part of the study (n = 17). Data from our secondary clinic site (Site 2) were excluded from the pre-post comparison due to insufficient sample size.

To determine PrEP medication regimen adherence, patient participants completed an adherence questionnaire using a 6-point Likert scale to self-report their perceived ability to take their PrEP medication as prescribed over the last 4 weeks. The scale ranged from excellent to very poor.
