About this trial

In this study, 50 pediatricians will participate in academic detailing, an evidence-based, 1-on-1 outreach education technique intended to promote clinician behavior change through brief, highly interactive, and individualized dialogues with trained educators, or "detailers". The goals of this study are to learn about whether this is a practical and acceptable technique, and whether it changes how pediatricians prescribe pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to adolescents and young adults (AYA) and how patients take it.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Feasibility

Feasibility will be assessed using survey question from other academic detailing campaigns and assessed on a 5-point Likert scale. Questions will be: "the key messages are feasible to implement in my practice" (1= not at all through 5= extremely)

Time frame
From enrollment to end of study interview at 4 months
2

Feasibility

Feasibility of academic detailing based on number of enrolled providers who complete both academic detailing visits

Time frame
From enrollment to end of second academic detailing session at 1 month
3

Acceptability

Acceptability of academic detailing as measured by provider satisfaction with the academic detailing visit. This will be assessed via the Prescriber Satisfaction with Academic Detailing questionnaire (PSAD). Answers are on a 5 point Likert scale (1=not at all through 5=extremely).

Time frame
From enrollment to end of second academic detailing visit at 1 month.
4

Acceptability

Acceptability of academic detailing based on completion of academic detailing sessions

Time frame
From enrollment to end of second academic detailing session at 1 month

Secondary outcomes

1

Impact of academic detailing on PrEP knowledge and prescribing

Preliminary impact of academic detailing on their knowledge, intentions and readiness to prescribe PrEP. This will be assessed via adapted questionnaires from other academic detailing campaigns. Questions will be assessed on a 5 point Likert scale (1=strongly agree through 5= strongly disagree). Example questions include: "I am or would be comfortable prescribing and managing patients on PrEP;" "I am willing to talk to my patients about PrEP if it might be indicated."

Time frame
From enrollment to end of study interview at 4 months
2

Change in PrEP Prescriptions

Changes in PrEP prescriptions provided by participants to their patients by review of electronic medical record following academic detailing intervention. This will include refills of oral PrEP medications and on-time injections of injectable PrEP.

Time frame
From 6 months prior to enrollment to 6 months after intervention
3

HIV Testing

Participant rates of HIV testing of their patients by review of the medical record.

Time frame
From 6 months prior to enrollment to 6 months after academic detailing intervention
4

Fidelity to intervention

Fidelity will be assessed by having academic detailers observe each other and then will provide feedback on adherence to academic detailing procedures by using a structured checklist (e.g., detailer delivers key messages, seeks commitment to behavior change from pediatrician).

Time frame
From enrollment to end of second academic detailing visit at 1 month.
