Item A human-centered designed outreach strategy for a youth contraception navigator program(Elsevier, 2022) Wilkinson, Tracey A.; Hawryluk, Bridget; Moore, Courtney; Peipert, Jeffrey F.; Carroll, Aaron E.; Wiehe, Sarah; Fortenberry, J. Dennis; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjective: To identify key elements of an outreach strategy for a youth contraception navigator program designed to help young people overcome barriers to contraception access. Methods: A human-centered design approach was used to engage adolescents aged 15-17 in co-design sessions. Human-centered design techniques, such as affinity diagramming and model building were used to inform key elements of the communication model and the final outreach strategy messages. Results: Messages focused on the individual, normalizing talking about birth control, acknowledging the challenges to obtaining birth control, explaining how the navigator program works resonate with young people. Having images of diverse participants, offering information about birth control, and showing images of reputable sources will enhance trust. Conclusions: A name (IN Control) and key elements of an outreach strategy were determined for the navigator program. It is important to work with key stakeholders and co-design the optimal strategy and messages to assure that the intended audience is reached, and the desired behavior change is achieved. Innovation: Human-centered design techniques can be used to provide insight into programmatic outreach strategies for a contraception navigator program to increase their impact and ultimate success.Item Dual Protection Messaging for Adolescents and Young Adults in the Setting of Over-the-Counter Hormonal Contraception: A Human-Centered Design Approach(Elsevier, 2022-12) Wilkinson, Tracey A.; Jenkins, Kelli; Hawryluk, Bridget A.; Moore, Courtney M.; Wiehe, Sarah E.; Kottke, Melissa J.; Pediatrics, School of MedicineStudy Objective To use human-centered design approaches to engage adolescents and young adults in the creation of messages focused on dual method use in the setting of over-the-counter hormonal contraception access Design Baseline survey and self-directed workbooks with human-centered design activities were completed. The workbooks were transcribed and analyzed using qualitative methods to determine elements of the communication model, including sender, receiver, message, media, and environment. Setting Indiana and Georgia Participants People aged 14-21 years in Indiana and Georgia Interventions Self-directed workbooks Main Outcome Measures Elements of the communication model, including sender, receiver, message, media, and environment Results We analyzed 54 workbooks, with approximately half from each state. Stakeholders self-identified as female (60.5%), white (50.9%), Hispanic (10.0%), sexually active (69.8%), and heterosexual (79.2%), with a mean age of 18 years. Most strongly agreed (75.5%) that they knew how to get condoms, but only 30.2% expressed the same sentiment about hormonal contraception. Exploration of the elements of the communication model indicated the importance of crafting tailored messages to intended receivers. Alternative terminology for dual protection, such as “Condom+____,” was created. Conclusion There is a need for multiple and diverse messaging strategies about dual method use in the context of over-the-counter hormonal contraception to address the various pertinent audiences as this discussion transitions outside of traditional clinical encounters. Human-centered design approaches can be used for novel message development.
