Supporting data for “Instant Messaging Sexual Health Intervention for Emerging Adults in Hong Kong: Understanding Perceptions of Condom Use and Promoting Safer Sex”

A NURSE-LED BRIEF INTERVENTION FOR ENHANCING SAFE SEX PRACTICE AMONG EMERGING ADULTS IN HONG KONG USING INSTANT MESSAGING: A FEASIBILITY STUDYA non-randomised feasibility trial was performed. All participants received an instant messaging intervention to promote safer sex practices. A baseline questionnaire containing the number of sexual intercourse, number of protected sexual intercourse in the past 12 months, and the 25-items Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale (MCAS) was given on the entry of the study. Another questionnaire with the same set of measurements at baseline and questions evaluating acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, integration, and limited efficacy was distributed 1 week after intervention delivery. All WhatsApp data were downloaded for feasibility evaluation.A MIXED-METHODS STUDY OF THE EXPERIENCES AND PERCEPTIONS OF CONDOM USE AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN HONGQuantitative data:All participants completed a self-administered online survey. Data on participants’ characteristics, sexual health knowledge, sexual health attitudes, and condom use practices were collected. Knowledge concerning condom use was assessed by the number of correct steps that participants attempt to accomplish during sexual intercourse, which is self-developed. The 25-items Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale (MCAS) and Condom Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) were used to assess attitudes and self-efficacy in condom use respectively. Consistency of condom use was assessed by calculating the ratio of reported sexual acts involving condom use to the total number of sexual acts in the past month. Participants were also asked about their sexual health behaviours, such as age of first sexual intercourse, number of sexual partners, and sexually transmitted infection diagnosis history.Qualitative data: In-depth individual interviews were conducted to explore the factors influencing condom use among university students in Hong Kong. The interview guide included topics related to participants’ internal perceptions of factors associated with condom use behaviours, such as perceived severity of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy, barriers to condom use, and self-efficacy to condom use. In addition, topics related to contextual factors associated with condom use behaviours, such as sociodemographic characteristics, characteristics of family context, and characteristics of school context, were also investigated.

一项关于利用即时通讯在香港新兴成年人中推广安全性行为的护士主导的短暂干预措施的可行性研究：一项非随机可行性试验。所有参与者均接受了即时通讯干预措施以促进更安全的性行为。在研究开始时，参与者完成了一份基线问卷，其中包含了过去12个月内的性交次数、受保护性交次数以及25项多维避孕态度量表（MCAS）。在干预措施实施后1周，分发了一份包含与基线相同的测量项目和评估可接受性、需求、实施、实用性、整合以及有限效力的问卷。所有WhatsApp数据均被下载以进行可行性评估。
一项关于香港大学生使用避孕套的经验和感知的混合方法研究。
定量数据：所有参与者完成了一份自我管理的在线调查。收集了参与者的特征、性健康知识、性健康态度以及避孕套使用实践的数据。通过参与者尝试在性交过程中完成正确步骤的数量来评估避孕套使用的知识。25项多维避孕态度量表（MCAS）和避孕自我效能量表（CSES）分别用于评估避孕套使用的态度和自我效能。通过计算报告使用避孕套的性行为与过去一个月内性行为总数的比率来评估避孕套使用的连贯性。参与者还被询问了他们的性健康行为，如首次性交年龄、性伴侣数量以及性传播感染诊断史。
定性数据：进行了一项深入的个别访谈，以探索影响香港大学生使用避孕套的因素。访谈指南包括与参与者对与避孕套使用行为相关的因素内部感知相关的话题，例如对性传播感染和意外怀孕严重性的感知、避孕套使用的障碍以及避孕套使用的自我效能。此外，还调查了与避孕套使用行为相关的情境因素，如社会人口统计学特征、家庭背景特征和学校背景特征。
