Study Overview

Brief Summary

Primary Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an interactive VMMC education session offered by a circumcised health worker and contribution to transport costs for accessing VMMC along with either (1) conditional economic compensation for wages or (2) lottery-based economic incentives on the uptake of VMMC.

Hypothesis VMMC education session offered by a role model - a young male health worker who has been previously benefited from VMMC services in this community - addressing risks of HIV infection, benefits of VMMC, and the fear of pain associated with VMMC, with/without a conditional fixed or lottery-based financial incentives off-setting present-biased preferences, will improve risk perception and increase uptake of VMMC in HIV-negative young men.

Study outcomes The primary outcomes for the study will be risk perception measured in a follow-up survey at 6 months and proportion of men taking up VMMC within 6 months measured through self-reports and matched to program records.
