Treatment and study plan

Ethnodrama Intervention

Behavioral

The intervention is six drama performances that are designed to transform community member beliefs about and foster support of young women's PrEP use, reduce PrEP-related enacted stigma toward young women, and reduce PrEP-related anticipated and internalized stigma among young women.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants who find the storylines and interactive components acceptable

    Time frame: Immediately post-intervention

    The investigators will gather feedback on the acceptability of the storylines (e.g., perceptions of whether the storylines seem real and identifiable) and interactive components (e.g., facilitated discussion).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Potential effectiveness of the intervention's storylines on transforming audience members' PrEP-related perceptions as measured by a brief interviewer-administered survey using the Narrative Transportation Scale (NTS)

    Time frame: Immediately post-intervention

    The 12-item scale is divided into two sub-scales: engagement and personal connection. Sample items include: "I wanted to learn what happened to the women after the story ended"; "The stories in the dramas are relevant to my everyday life"; and "The stories in the drama are realistic and believable." The total score ranges from 12 to 84, where a higher score indicates greater narrative transportation.
