Medical and Pharmacy Students' Awareness, Knowledge, and Attitudes Toward Injectable HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP).
Observational study in Journal of community health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ending the HIV epidemic in the United States will require increasing the uptake of HIV biomedical prevention strategies, such as injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). One avenue to potentially increase injectable PrEP prescriptions is to educate the next generation of healthcare providers. The purpose of this study was to examine injectable PrEP knowledge, awareness, and willingness to perform injectable PrEP-related clinical activities among medical and pharmacy students. From November 2022-January 2023, we conducted a web-based, cross-sectional observational study among 395 medical and pharmacy students from one public university in New York State. The survey assessed injectable PrEP awareness, knowledge, familiarity with injectable PrEP prescribing guidelines, comfort performing injectable PrEP-related clinical activities, and willingness to perform injectable PrEP-related activities. Overall, participants reported low injectable PrEP awareness, knowledge, and familiarity with prescribing guidelines. Despite this, participants reported relatively high levels of comfort with performing injectable PrEP-related tasks. While there were no statistically significant differences in domains of interest, pharmacy students reported greater awareness, knowledge, familiarity with prescribing guidelines, and comfort performing injectable PrEP-related tasks. Linear regression models illustrated that pharmacy students were statistically significantly less willing to initiate a conversation about injectable PrEP with eligible patients compared to medical students. Future healthcare providers will play a pivotal role in implementing new biomedical prevention strategies for HIV, including injectable PrEP. Results illustrate the need for additional educational programs to increase injectable PrEP knowledge among health professional students.
