Our team developed MyPEEPS (Male youth Pursuing Empowerment, Education, and Prevention around Sexuality) Mobile-a health application for young cisgender men who have sex with men to promote health and reduce sexual risk. The current study sought to better understand approaches for adapting MyPEEPS for transmasculine youth.
Transmasculine youth, ages 13-18 years, who reported attraction to or sex with cisgender men were recruited to participate in focus groups in four major cities in the United States.
Overall, participants found MyPEEPS Mobile to be a useful educational platform for sexual health education. Participants discussed expansions of the MyPEEPS Mobile App to address interpersonal concerns and provision of a holistic approach to health promotion for transmasculine youth. Detailed suggestions for improvement included personalization; transmasculine inclusivity and relatability; expansion of population-specific educational components; and improvements to functionality, images, and graphics.
While MyPEEPS Mobile has educational components, adaptations are needed to address specific needs of TMY and optimize user-centered design for feasibility and efficacy. If tailored to the lives of transmasculine youth, MyPEEPS has the potential to promote HIV preventive behavior.
我们的团队开发了 MyPEEPS（追求性别相关的赋权、教育和预防的男性青年）手机应用程序，这是一款面向与男性发生性行为的顺性别男性青年的健康应用程序，旨在促进健康和减少性风险。本研究旨在更好地了解针对跨性别男性青年调整 MyPEEPS 的方法。
我们招募了年龄在 13 至 18 岁之间、对顺性别男性有吸引力或与其发生过性行为的跨性别男性青年参加在美国四个主要城市举行的焦点小组。
总体而言，参与者认为 MyPEEPS 手机应用程序是一个有用的性健康教育平台。参与者讨论了扩展 MyPEEPS 移动应用程序以解决人际关系问题，并为跨性别男性青年提供促进健康的整体方法。改进的详细建议包括个性化；跨性别包容性和相关性；扩大特定人群的教育内容；以及改进功能、图像和图形。
虽然 MyPEEPS 手机应用程序有教育内容，但需要进行调整以满足 TMY 的特定需求，并优化以用户为中心的设计，以提高可行性和效果。如果针对跨性别男性青年的生活进行量身定制，MyPEEPS 有可能促进 HIV 预防行为。
