Summary

This study will address the significant yet often overlooked problem of HIV among cisgender women. To do this, researchers will adapt and test a multilingual technology-based strategy supporting informed decision-making for PrEP in primary care. Specifically, researchers will use the electronic health record to securely send women multimedia educational materials in English or Spanish about PrEP, and facilitate electronic scheduling of PrEP visits - if women decide they are interested. Choice is critical.

Conditions

  • PrEP Education

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

EMPOWER Strategy

The EMPOWER Strategy will: 1) identify women in primary care; 2) deliver understandable, actionable, and non-stigmatizing PrEP education, in multiple formats and languages, directly and securely to women via the patient portal; 3) enable women to discreetly self-schedule a visit to discuss PrEP options via the patient portal, with either their own PCP or with a female PCP who has years of experience in PrEP delivery; and 4) support PCP counseling via clinical decision support that provides standardized, patient-centered language to guide PrEP discussions and via 'smart sets' to facilitate PrEP prescribing, when desired and appropriate.

BEHAVIORAL

Attention Control

Women in this arm will be sent, via the patient portal, a CDC patient education material on benefits of physical activity. The material will be in English or Spanish based on patient's language.
