Heterogeneity in preferences for HIV prevention service delivery among women of reproductive age in western Kenya: a latent class analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Pharmacies might create opportunities for pregnant women to initiate HIV prevention services earlier and more regularly, but their role in HIV prevention during pregnancy-a high-risk period for HIV acquisition-remains relatively unexplored. We evaluated whether women of childbearing age have different preferences for accessing HIV prevention services in Western Kenya. Methods: We administered a discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey to women aged 15-44 in Western Kenya from June to November 2023. The survey asked women to choose among HIV prevention services described by seven attributes: service location, travel time, type of HIV test, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, partner HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and service fee. We used a latent-class model with effects-coded attribute levels to explore preference heterogeneity. Results: Among the 599 women included in the final analysis, the median age was 23 years (IQR: 18-27). 213 (33%) were married or living with a partner, and 311 (52%) had a prior pregnancy. The latent class analysis identified four distinct groups: the clinic-seeking group ( Conclusions: Women in this study exhibited heterogeneous preferences for accessing HIV prevention services. Future service design goals might prioritize STI testing and PrEP implementation, ensure targeted improvements to clinic-based services for women who value this setting, and offer flexible pricing to accommodate price-sensitive individuals.
