我们试图了解男男性行为（YMSM）的观点和首选功能的移动的健康（mHealth）工具，旨在促进人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种。YMSM在一个流行的社交/性网络应用程序上被招募参加在线焦点小组。讨论的目的是引出男性在性健康和HPV的mHealth工具中想要什么。使用描述性统计分析人口统计学数据，使用常规内容分析分析焦点组数据。48名青年男同性恋者参加了会议。平均年龄为23.4岁，70.0%的人报告他们的种族是黑人。定性主题包括一般HPV知识和意识，当前技术使用模式，期望的应用程序质量和期望的应用程序内容。年轻人描述了不同程度的HPV知识，利用应用程序进行社交，旅行，银行，游戏，新闻和娱乐，很少使用应用程序来促进个人健康或参与医疗保健系统。参与者希望可靠，相关，安全和易于使用的界面，在积极的背景下提供性健康和HPV信息。他们描述了创造性地让青年与卫生服务提供者接触和直接联系的方法。我们确定了一个文化相关的青年驱动的方法，以促进HPV疫苗接种和YMSM的性健康。
We sought to understand young men who have sex with men (YMSM) perspectives and preferred features for a mobile health (mHealth) tool designed to facilitate human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. YMSM were recruited on a popular social/sexual networking app to participate in online focus groups. Discussions were designed to elicit what the men would want in a mHealth tool specific for sexual health and HPV. Demographic data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and focus group data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Forty-eight YMSM participated. Mean age was 23.4years, and 70.0% reported their race as Black. Qualitative themes included general HPV knowledge and awareness, current patterns in technology use, desired app qualities, and desired app content. Youth described varying levels of HPV knowledge, utilized apps to engage socially, and for travel, banking, gaming, news and entertainment, and few used apps to facilitate personal health or engage with healthcare systems. Participants desired credible, relatable, secure, and easy to use interfaces that provided sexual health and HPV information in a positive context. They described ways to creatively engage and directly connect youth to health providers. We identified a culturally relevant youth driven approach to facilitate HPV vaccination and sexual health among YMSM.
