Bridging gaps: Demographic insights into utilization and engagement in Los Angeles County, California's TelePrEP HIV prevention program.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2026. 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
Objectives: In alignment with the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health launched TelePrEP in May 2023 to expand access to HIV prevention services. This study aimed to examine predictors of engagement in care, including demographic characteristics, and insurance status. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used de-identified data from 412 clients during the program's operation from May 2023 through May 2025. Engagement was measured as completion of three or more quarterly visits versus fewer than three visits. Bivariate analysis and Logistic regression assessed associations between engagement and client demographics. Results: The cohort was predominantly male (91.70%), Hispanic/Latino (48.10%), and aged 18-39 years (72.60%). Majority of clients disenrolled (53.80%) were attributed to adherence/compliance challenges. Completion of three or more quarterly visits was not significantly associated with gender, age, race/ethnicity, or insurance status in either bivariate or adjusted analyses. Conclusion: In this large urban TelePrEP program, no statistically significant associations were detected between the measured variables and completion of three or more quarterly visits. Small subgroup sizes and wide confidence intervals limit interpretation. Findings support strengthening early engagement and reengagement strategies, although interpretation is limited by small subgroup sizes.
