Pharmacy staff willingness to establish pre-exposure prophylaxis-based collaborative practice agreements in the Southeast United States.
Article in Journal of the American Pharmacists Association : JAPhA. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundA collaborative practice agreement (CPA) allows a pharmacist to provide various patient care functions (i.e., ordering labs and modifying drug therapies) under the supervision of a provider. CPAs could facilitate pharmacists to provide human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention services such as pre-exposure prophylaxis screening and prescribing, which could enhance HIV prevention services in places with historically low access.
objectiveWe evaluate correlates of pharmacy staff willingness to establish CPAs and to provide specific patient care functions.
methodsThe Collaborative Agreement-based pre-exposure prophylaxis Using Pharmacists study conducted online surveys among pharmacy staff from 8 states in the Southeast United States. Data collection began in January 2024 and is ongoing. Survey questions were developed using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research constructs and capture the history of CPA usage, attitudes about CPAs, and willingness to establish CPAs. Descriptive analysis and Poisson regression were performed using preliminary data to evaluate pharmacy staff willingness to offer specific patient care functions through CPAs.
resultsAmong 246 respondents, 67 (27%) currently have at least 1 CPA in place, with 20 (30%) of those CPAs involving infectious disease care. About 75% were willing to establish a CPA to provide additional services to their patients. Most pharmacy staffs were willing to provide medication therapy management (91%), patient counseling (82%), and modification of existing therapy (73%); fewer were willing to interpret laboratory tests (54%), order laboratory tests (52%), and perform laboratory tests (39%). The strongest correlate of willingness to establish a CPA was having received formal training on CPAs.
conclusionMost pharmacy staffs were willing to establish CPAs to provide additional services beyond their current scope of practice, but few have experience with infectious disease CPAs. Future research is needed to identify factors that will allow for successful development and implementation of HIV prevention-specific CPAs and understand barriers to willingness for pharmacy staff who are unwilling to establish CPAs.
