Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the text-based ITG intervention to promote behaviors associated with HIV prevention amongst 18-22 year-olds in Uganda. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. In a twelve-month period, does the intervention increase HIV testing and use of condoms? a. How do the different interactive elements effect this? 2. How is effectiveness different for populations based on education, sex, and location (urban/rural)? Researchers will compare the control group, with no intervention, and the three combinations of the three intervention components: quiz questions, milestone badges, and access to on-demand advice. Participants will receive the intervention via text messages and partake in the interactive elements listed above.
