简要总结
MTN-045 is a cross-sectional study that will utilize questionnaires, including Discrete-Choice Experiments (DCE) and joint decision tasks, to assess couples' preferences related to dual purpose prevention (DPP) products that could be used to prevent unintended pregnancies and HIV infection. Post-survey explanatory in-depth interviews (IDIs) will be conducted with a subset of participants to explore DPP product-related decisions..
详细描述
MTN-045 is a cross-sectional study that will utilize questionnaires, including DCEs and joint decision tasks, and IDIs to assess heterosexual couples' preferences related to DPP products that could be used to prevent unintended pregnancies and HIV infection. One main goal of the study is to determine heterosexual couples' preferences for a DPP product to inform product delivery and future product design to maximize uptake and willingness to use among sub-Saharan African heterosexual couples. Another main goal of the study is to assess the level of influence of the male partner on a woman's preferences for a DPP product and on her decision-making process regarding product preferences and use.
The MTN-045 study population will consist of approximately 400 heterosexual sub-Saharan African couples of reproductive age who have been in a relationship for ≥ 3 months and are interested in contraception and/or HIV prevention. Women who are currently using contraceptives as well as those not using contraceptives will be eligible. Couples who are living together as well as those not living together will be eligible. All participants will complete survey questionnaires, first separately from their partner, then followed by a joint couples' decision task. Up to 80 participants, i.e., one or both partners from a subset of up to 40 couples, will be selected to complete an IDI.
