To assess PrEP service delivery preferences among Black cis-gender women living in urban and rural settings in Alabama, we conducted a cross-sectional discrete choice experiment survey. Discrete choice experiments included five attributes. Hierarchical Bayes (HB) modeling and latent class analyses (LCA) were used to evaluate attribute preferences. Among 795 Black cis-gender HIV-negative women, almost two-thirds lived in urban settings and reported having at least some college; about a third reported a household income less than $25,000 annually; and reported willingness to use PrEP. Respondents placed the greatest importance on PrEP medication formulation and healthcare facility. LCA showed the group with the highest rural proportion preferred for on-line visits. Black women in the Deep South had distinct preferences regarding PrEP service delivery. These findings can inform tailored interventions to improve PrEP uptake among Black cis-gender women across diverse settings in the South.
为了评估生活在阿拉巴马州城乡地区的黑人顺性别女性对 PrEP 服务提供的偏好,我们进行了一项横断面离散选择实验调查。离散选择实验包括五个属性。分层贝叶斯 (HB) 模型和潜在类别分析 (LCA) 用于评估属性偏好。在 795 名黑人顺性别 HIV 阴性女性中,近三分之二生活在城市地区,报告至少有一些大学学历;约三分之一报告每年的家庭收入低于 25000 美元;并表示愿意使用 PrEP。受访者最看重 PrEP 药物配方和医疗机构。LCA 显示,农村比例最高的群体更喜欢在线就诊。生活在美国南部腹地的黑人女性对 PrEP 服务提供有明显的偏好。这些发现可以为在南方不同环境中提高黑人顺性别女性对 PrEP 的接受度提供有针对性的干预措施。
