Factors Influencing PrEP Adoption in Ontario Sexual Health Clinics: A Qualitative Study

Ontario's public health system is the focus of this qualitative dataset on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adoption. The data comprises interview transcripts from 18 staff and managers across 12 Public Health Sexual Health Clinics, analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and Health Equity Implementation Framework (HEIF). The dataset was authored by Emma Nagy and last updated on April 22, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing barriers and facilitators to PrEP service implementation based on interview themes like post-COVID-19 constraints and funding limitations.
• Modeling clinic adoption categories (e.g., innovators, early adopters) based on described factors like workflow integration and supportive learning climates.
• Studying health equity factors affecting access based on described obstacles like socioeconomic disadvantage, rurality, and stigma.

Strengths

• Interview data from 18 participants across 12 clinics provides multiple perspectives.
• Analysis is structured using two established frameworks: CFIR and HEIF.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 19.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
