Intervention to Reduce Implicit Bias in Pharmacies
The Impact of an Intervention to Reduce Pharmacists' Racial Bias Towards People of Color at Risk of HIV
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
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.
