INTRODUCTION: Crowdsourcing, a participatory approach to solicit ideas from a large group of diverse individuals, provides an opportunity to nurture youth participation in HIV self-testing service design. The objective of this study was to describe the responses to a crowdsourcing contest aimed at soliciting ideas on how to promote HIV self-testing (HIVST) among young people in Nigeria. METHODS: The "4 Youth by Youth" HIV Self-Testing Crowdsourcing contest was an online and off-line contest that asked Nigerian youth (10-24 years old) for ideas in response to the following: How might we promote HIVST among young people in Nigeria? All data were collected and analyzed between October 2018, and June 2019. Ideas and perceptions generated from the crowdsourcing contest were qualitatively analyzed using thematic content analysis. Specifically, four reviewers analyzed whether the ideas generated were desirable (appealing to young people), feasible (easy to implement) and impactful (will significantly influence HIVST uptake among young people). RESULTS: A total of 903 entries were received in response to the contest prompt. Participants submitted entries in various forms: online form (39.7%), offline Dropbox (44.6%), email (6.1%) and WhatsApp (9.7%). Of the total entries, 85% (n = 769/903) entries were eligible and were scored as having either high, moderate or low level of feasibility, impact and desirability, on a 3-point Likert scale. A significant portion of the entries were given a score of 3 for feasibility (4.9%), desirability (7.1%), impact (3.0%) or a total overall score of 7 or more (8.2%). The three main themes that emerged from the entries include:1) Peer-to-peer distribution and leveraging on existing infrastructures 2) Youth-Oriented Branding of the HIVST Kit 3) Mobile platforms and social media technology. CONCLUSION: The "4 Youth by Youth" Self-Testing contest engaged a broad audience of young people to generate ideas and perspectives on how to promote HIVST. This process informed the development of youth innovated implementation strategies to increase uptake of HIVST among adolescents and youth at risk for HIV.
简介:众包是一种从大量不同个体中征集创意的参与式方法,为培养青年参与 HIV 自检服务设计提供了机会。本研究的目的是描述一项众包竞赛的结果,该竞赛旨在征集有关如何在尼日利亚青年中推广 HIV 自检 (HIVST) 的想法。
方法:“4 个青年对 4 个青年”HIV 自检众包竞赛是一项线上和线下竞赛,要求尼日利亚青年(10-24 岁)针对以下问题提出想法:我们如何在尼日利亚青年中推广 HIVST?所有数据均于 2018 年 10 月至 2019 年 6 月期间收集和分析。众包竞赛中产生的想法和观点采用主题内容分析法进行定性分析。具体而言,四位评审员分析了生成的想法是否具有吸引力(吸引年轻人)、可行性(易于实施)和影响力(将对年轻人的 HIVST 采用率产生重大影响)。
结果:竞赛提示共收到 903 条参赛作品。参与者以各种形式提交参赛作品:在线表格(39.7%)、离线 Dropbox(44.6%)、电子邮件(6.1%)和 WhatsApp(9.7%)。在总共的参赛作品中,85%(n=903/903)的参赛作品符合条件,并根据 3 分李克特量表,对可行性、影响力和吸引力进行了高、中、低水平的评分。很大一部分参赛作品的可行性(4.9%)、吸引力(7.1%)和影响力(3.0%)或总分达到 7 分或以上(8.2%)的评分均为 3 分。参赛作品中出现的三个主要主题包括:1) 同伴间的分发和利用现有基础设施 2) HIVST 试剂盒的面向青年的品牌化 3) 移动平台和社交媒体技术。
结论:“4 个青年对 4 个青年”自检竞赛吸引了广大青年群体参与,征集了推广 HIVST 的想法和观点。这一过程为制定创新性的青年实施策略提供了信息,以增加青少年和感染艾滋病毒风险的青年对 HIVST 的采用率。
