HIV disproportionately impacts young men of color who have sex with men. Keep It Up! (KIU!) is an online intervention that addresses the needs of this population. The study objective was to examine intervention acceptability and engagement. Outcomes of interests were qualitative and quantitative acceptability and engagement measures, content ratings, and paradata. On average, participants rated content (4 out of 5 stars) and acceptability (3.5 out of 4) highly. Compared to White participants, Black participants found KIU! more useful, engaging, and acceptable; Latino participants found KIU! more engaging; and other non-White participants found KIU! more engaging and acceptable. Participants with high school or less education found KIU! more useful, engaging, acceptable, and deserving of five stars than college graduates ( values = .047, <.001, .002, .01) and graduate degree holders ( values = .04, .001, <.001, .004). KIU! is a promising prevention tool for highest risk populations.
艾滋病毒对与男性发生性行为的有色人种青年的影响尤为严重。“坚持下去!”(KIU!)是一项针对这一人群需求的在线干预措施。该研究的目的是检验干预措施的可接受性和参与度。感兴趣的结果是定性和定量的可接受性及参与度指标、内容评分和辅助数据。参与者对内容(五星制中评分为4星)和可接受性(四分制中评分为3.5分)的评价普遍较高。与白人参与者相比,黑人参与者认为KIU!更有用、更具吸引力且更易接受;拉丁裔参与者认为KIU!更具吸引力;其他非白人参与者认为KIU!更具吸引力且更易接受。高中及以下学历的参与者比大学毕业生(p值分别为.047、<.001、.002、.01)和研究生学历者(p值分别为.04、.001、<.001、.004)觉得KIU!更有用、更具吸引力、更易接受且更值得打五星。KIU!是针对高危人群的一种很有前景的预防工具。
