Rural providers’ attitudes toward integrating harm reduction strategies and PrEP prescribing into rural primary care settings in the US. Southeast and Midwest
Findings from this study suggest that providers who are more open to integrating harm reduction services into primary care are more likely to prescribe PrEP in the past year. PCPs with more positive attitudes toward naloxone, syringe exchange, and buprenorphine were more likely to prescribe PrEP in the past year. Combination interventions may be a promising avenue of reducing the harms of drug use including overdose and HIV infection among populations of people who use drugs.
