Use of cognitive interviews to develop PrEP education for men in New York and Alabama.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesWe conducted cognitive interviews on a two-module PrEP training series developed by our study team to assess how clear, appropriate, and useful the videos are for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (collectively referred to as MSM) who are taking or interested in starting PrEP.
methodsMSM aged 18-39 were recruited through convenience sampling to participate in cognitive interviews during which study staff screen-shared the PrEP training series and asked open-ended questions on the modules' script content, visuals and graphics, and audio. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed for common themes using a codebook guided by Fogg's Functional Triad, a theoretical framework which describes the persuasive functions of technology as a tool, media, and a social actor.
resultsThirty participants completed cognitive interviews between November 2023 and January 2024. Common feedback included that the PrEP training videos were a useful tool for those who were either looking to start or continue PrEP use. Further, participants appreciated that the videos were inclusive of diverse populations who may benefit from PrEP, and noted that they should include important topics such as access to PrEP and plain language to improve comprehension of material.
conclusionsOur study applied Fogg's Functional Triad to identify ways in which our PrEP training series can facilitate PrEP uptake and adherence and allowed us to understand how this video series may be perceived prior to sharing it with the general public during our mChoice implementation study. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The training series has the potential to promote shared decision making in a healthcare setting. Feedback collected during cognitive interviews demonstrates the need for clear and comprehensive PrEP educational tools made specifically for patients as well as the need for involvement of the priority intervention audience in the creation of the training materials prior to their release to the public.
