Leveraging mobile phone-based technologies to provide on-demand adolescent sexual reproductive health information in a resource-limited setting: Kibra, Nairobi County

Adolescents transitioning from childhood to adulthood need to be equipped with reproductive health (SRH) knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that empower them. The prevalence of pregnancy and STIs among adolescents in low and middle income countries leads us to believe adolescents don’t have ac...

description Adolescents transitioning from childhood to adulthood need to be equipped with reproductive health (SRH) knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that empower them. The prevalence of pregnancy and STIs among adolescents in low and middle income countries leads us to believe adolescents don’t have access to enough SRH information. The lack of SRH information may be due to cultural and societal attitudes towards adolescent sexual reproductive health. Innovative and adolescent-friendly approaches are required. We investigated current information sources, their limitations and explored the role technology, mainly mobile phones, could play among adolescents to meet their information needs. Applying a human-centered design methodology, we developed a mobile app, then evaluated it using a randomized controlled trial. The main contribution is to show that SRH information should be provided in a secure, confidential and anonymous manner. Adolescents require accurate and up-to-date SRH information. Mobile phones could offer an accessible, user-friendly and reliable delivery platform.

La prevalença d'embarassos i d'infeccions de transmissió sexual (ITS) entre adolescents en països de renda baixa i mitjana ens fa pensar que no tenen accés a prou informació sobre aquest tema, la qual cosa pot ser deguda a les actituds culturals i socials envers la salut sexual i reproductiva dels adolescents. Calen enfocaments que siguin innovadors i adaptats a la població adolescent. Hem investigat les fonts d'informació actuals i les seves limitacions, i hem explorat el paper que la tecnologia, principalment els telèfons mòbils, podria tenir entre els adolescents per satisfer-ne les necessitats d'informació. Aplicant una metodologia de disseny centrada en l'ésser humà, hem desenvolupat una aplicació mòbil, que hem avaluat mitjançant un assaig controlat aleatoritzat. La principal contribució d'aquesta tesi és mostrar que la informació sobre SSR s'ha de proporcionar de manera segura, confidencial i anònima. Els adolescents necessiten informació sobre salut sexual i reproductiva precisa i actualitzada. En aquest sentit, els telèfons mòbils podrien ser una plataforma accessible, fàcil d'utilitzar i fiable per proporcionar aquesta informació.Durante el paso de la infancia a la edad adulta, los adolescentes deben estar equipados con conocimientos, habilidades, actitudes y valores sobre salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR) que los empoderen.
