Pharmacists on the frontline: new study checks quality of birth control care at the pharmacy
NCT ID NCT06819787
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a digital tool (PRISM) that helps pharmacists prescribe birth control. 75 women at five U.S. pharmacies used the tool and later answered surveys about their care and whether they kept using their chosen method. The goal was to see if this pharmacy-based approach provides high-quality, patient-friendly contraceptive services.
