Patient Preferences For Pharmacy-Based Contraception Prescribing Services, Abby Davies, Jordan Ballou, Emily Mann, Bryan Love, Chao Cai, Ismaeel Yunusa, Tessa J. Hastings
Posters
BACKGROUND: Pharmacist scope of practice in the United States has expanded to include prescribing hormonal contraception in over 30 states and the District of Columbia. Community pharmacies are highly accessible and have the potential to improve access to contraception, particularly in areas with limited reproductive health services. Despite this expansion, utilization of pharmacy-based contraception prescribing remains low. It is unclear whether this is due to lack of patient awareness, lack of interest, or misalignment between available services and patient preferences. Therefore, this study used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to assess patient preferences for key attributes of pharmacy-based contraception services. …
