Effectiveness of social network site-based interventions promoting condom use among youth: A systematic review based on the intervention mapping taxonomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to systematically review existing interventions delivered via social network sites (SNS) to promote condom use among youth.

Methods

Studies that evaluated SNS-based interventions targeting condom use and/or its psychosocial determinants among youth (12-24y) were searched. Intervention effectiveness was defined as percentage of comparisons (e.g., across different follow-up times or between different groups) showing significant improvements in condom use or determinants, out of total number of possible comparisons within each study. Using Intervention Mapping, determinants clusters targeted by each intervention, the behavioral change methods (BCMs) employed, and theoretical match between the targeted determinants and applied BCMs were inferred.
