Summary

This study will follow the ADAPT-ITT model to apply the Prejudice Habit Breaking Intervention (PHBI) to pharmacists who have experience with or are willing to prescribe PrEP. We will first collect qualitative data through focus group discussions guided by the Health Equity Implementation Framework (HEIF) on determinants related to the intervention itself, pharmacists, and the community pharmacy context that may impact implementation of the PHBI. Then, we will use this information to adapt the PHBI in an iterative process involving topic experts, pharmacists, and PrEP users. We will then determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of the adapted PHBI to reduce implicit racial bias.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

The adapted PHBI

The adapted intervention is expected to be an online 60-minute video with an educational part about implicit racial bias, its consequences in healthcare inequalities, how to mitigate it, and seven case scenarios (5 minutes each) to train pharmacy interns on aspects related to cultural competency and how and when to use IBMS to reduce the impact of bias on prescribing PrEP for people of color.

BEHAVIORAL

The NIH Implicit Bias course

The NIH Implicit Bias course consists of three modules designed to teach users what bias is, how to recognize it, and how to minimize its impact
