BACKGROUND
This study was conducted to determine the level and feasibility of use of information and communication technology (ICT) and social media for research and service delivery among young female sex workers (YFSWs) in Kampala, Uganda.
METHODS
We analysed baseline data from 234 YFSWs in Kampala ages 15-24 y participating in a randomized controlled trial testing a cognitive behavioural human immunodeficiency virus prevention intervention.
RESULTS
Mobile phone ownership (68.3%) and short message service use (64.9%) were moderate and significantly lower in the 15- to 19-y age group. Computer use experience and internet access were low.
CONCLUSIONS
We believe that the feasibility of ICT and social media-driven interventions among YFSWs is limited.
背景
本研究旨在确定乌干达坎帕拉地区年轻女性性工作者（YFSWs）在研究和服务提供中使用信息和通信技术（ICT）及社交媒体的水平和可行性。
方法
我们分析了来自坎帕拉年龄在 15-24 岁之间的 234 名 YFSWs 的基线数据，这些参与者正在参加一项随机对照试验，以测试认知行为艾滋病毒预防干预措施。
结果
手机拥有率（68.3%）和短信息服务使用率（64.9%）在 15 至 19 岁年龄组中处于中等水平，且显著较低。电脑使用经验和互联网接入率则较低。
结论
我们认为，在 YFSWs 中开展基于 ICT 和社交媒体的干预措施的可行性有限。
