Evaluating the Home-Based Intervention Study (HIS-UK) to improve condom use skills and experience: a qualitative study
Objectives: we explored participants’ experiences in a randomized controlled trial that evaluated the Home-Based Intervention Strategy (HIS-UK) to improve male condom use skills/experiences.
Methods: 25 men (18–25 years) who had reached the first 6 months of the intervention were interviewed. We used a codebook approach to thematic analysis to analyze the data. Results: Four themes were identified: Perceived benefits of online versus in-clinic recruitment; Perceptions of the educational content; Benefits of the condom kit; Acceptability of condom testing and monthly questionnaire.
Conclusion: participants valued the intervention, especially the condom kit that provided a range of different condoms and lubricants.
