Study Objective

To use human-centered design approaches to engage adolescents and young adults in the creation of messages focused on dual method use in the setting of over-the-counter hormonal contraception access

Design

Baseline survey and self-directed workbooks with human-centered design activities were completed. The workbooks were transcribed and analyzed using qualitative methods to determine elements of the communication model, including sender, receiver, message, media, and environment.

Setting

Indiana and Georgia

Participants

People aged 14-21 years in Indiana and Georgia

Interventions

Self-directed workbooks

Main Outcome Measures

Elements of the communication model, including sender, receiver, message, media, and environment

Results

We analyzed 54 workbooks, with approximately half from each state. Stakeholders self-identified as female (60.5%), white (50.9%), Hispanic (10.0%), sexually active (69.8%), and heterosexual (79.2%), with a mean age of 18 years. Most strongly agreed (75.5%) that they knew how to get condoms, but only 30.2% expressed the same sentiment about hormonal contraception. Exploration of the elements of the communication model indicated the importance of crafting tailored messages to intended receivers. Alternative terminology for dual protection, such as “Condom+____,” was created.

Conclusion

There is a need for multiple and diverse messaging strategies about dual method use in the context of over-the-counter hormonal contraception to address the various pertinent audiences as this discussion transitions outside of traditional clinical encounters. Human-centered design approaches can be used for novel message development.

非处方激素避孕中针对青少年和年轻人的双重保护信息：以人为本的设计方法

 学习目的

使用以人为本的设计方法，让青少年和年轻人参与创建侧重于在非处方激素避孕药具中使用双重方法的信息

 设计

完成了基线调查和以人为本的设计活动的自我指导工作簿。使用定性方法对工作簿进行转录和分析，以确定通信模型的要素，包括发送者、接收者、消息、媒体和环境。

 环境

 印第安纳州和佐治亚州

 参加者

印第安纳州和佐治亚州 14-21 岁的人群

 干预措施

 自导练习册

 主要观察指标

通信模型的元素，包括发送者、接收者、消息、媒体和环境

 结果

我们分析了 54 本工作簿，每个州大约有一半。利益相关者自我认同为女性 (60.5%)、白人 (50.9%)、西班牙裔 (10.0%)、性活跃 (69.8%) 和异性恋 (79.2%)，平均年龄为 18 岁。大多数人（75.5%）强烈同意他们知道如何获得安全套，但只有 30.2% 的人对激素避孕表达了同样的看法。对通信模型要素的探索表明了为目标接收者制作定制消息的重要性。创建了双重保护的替代术语，例如“避孕套+____”。

 结论

在非处方激素避孕背景下，需要针对双重方法的使用制定多种不同的消息传递策略，以解决各种相关受众的问题，因为这种讨论已经超出了传统的临床经验。以人为本的设计方法可用于新颖的消息开发。
