In-the-kNOW (Novel Approaches to Optimizing Women's Health): A Mobile Application to Optimize HIV Prevention and Sexual/Reproductive Health Communication Among Black Women in the Southern U.S.
Black women have a significantly higher risk of acquiring HIV compared to their non-Black counterparts.
The purpose of this study is to refine and test a mobile HIV Prevention and Reproductive Health app developed specifically for Black women.
The overall goal in implementing this study will be to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the in-the-kNOW mobile app. The app will be refined using preliminary data obtained through prior research with Black women in which their perspectives towards the use of an HIV and sexual health mobile app were ascertained.
Preliminary data obtained from a Community Advisory Board (CAB), which will consist predominately of Black women will guide refinement of the content and features included within the mobile app, whilst ensuring that the app is tailored towards the needs and perspectives of Black women.
This will be a randomized study with quantitative data collected through surveys, and qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews.
