New dashboard aims to boost PrEP access and cut HIV disparities
NCT ID NCT07231640
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new data dashboard to help clinics in Alabama track and improve how they provide PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. The dashboard shows real-time data on PrEP prescriptions and patient needs, aiming to reduce racial gaps in HIV prevention. Researchers will work with 56 clinic staff across 7 sites to see if the tool helps more Black patients get PrEP.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PrOTECT AL Implementation Strategy (data dashboard and website)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help clinics better identify and address gaps in PrEP services, potentially reducing HIV rates and racial disparities in Alabama.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage implementation study with only 56 participants from 7 clinics, so results may not apply broadly. The dashboard's impact depends on how well clinics use it.
