Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants who find the storylines and interactive components acceptable	Immediately post-intervention	The investigators will gather feedback on the acceptability of the storylines (e.g., perceptions of whether the storylines seem real and identifiable) and interactive components (e.g., facilitated discussion).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Potential effectiveness of the intervention's storylines on transforming audience members' PrEP-related perceptions as measured by a brief interviewer-administered survey using the Narrative Transportation Scale (NTS)	Immediately post-intervention	The 12-item scale is divided into two sub-scales: engagement and personal connection. Sample items include: "I wanted to learn what happened to the women after the story ended"; "The stories in the dramas are relevant to my everyday life"; and "The stories in the drama are realistic and believable." The total score ranges from 12 to 84, where a higher score indicates greater narrative transportation.
