Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases (IGHID) 11604 - Crowdsourcing to Promote HIV Testing: A Stepped Wedge Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Promoting HIV Testing in China
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Crowdsourced intervention and Traditional intervention campaign for HIV. Completed, enrolled 1,381 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this stepped wedge randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a crowdsourced intervention on promoting HIV testing among young Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM). The crowdsourced intervention will include an open contest, judging to determine finalists and prizes, a designathon, and contest-based MSM engagement. The hypothesis is that a crowdsourced intervention will be superior to conventional HIV test uptake campaigns in eliciting HIV test uptake.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The crowdsourced intervention is composed of three phases that cumulatively draw on crowd wisdom to engage the community: (1) a crowdsourcing contest to solicit optimal images/concepts/taglines; (2) a designathon to formulate optimal HIV testing campaigns; (3) a process of localization unique to each of the eight cities.
The pre-intervention period will include conventional HIV testing campaigns organized by local CDC, Community-Based Organization (CBO), and partners. These are typically designed by experts and social marketing companies.
