Social Media as a Risk Tool for HIV Prevention Needs

NCT06566417 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

Last updated 2025-11-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The impact of effective HIV prevention tools is limited because many people do not know that they are at risk for HIV acquisition, despite the availability of various risk assessment scores and criteria. This proposal aims to use a novel data science approach to assessing HIV prevention needs among 400 young women in Kisumu, Kenya- namely, topic modeling and network analysis of text and/or social media messages (e.g., WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter). The study will involve in-depth assessment of relevant ethical and logistical factors to ensure appropriate and optimized use of a sentiment analysis tool for implementation in routine clinical care.
