An empirical test of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model of willingness and intention to use HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among adolescent men who have sex with men.
Trial report in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundAdolescent men who have sex with men (AMSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, yet uptake of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among AMSM is low. Theory-based research is needed to increase PrEP adoption for HIV prevention among AMSM. PURPOSE: Using the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model, we aimed to (1) examine information, motivation, and behavioral skills as determinants of willingness and intention to use PrEP and (2) determine whether these relationships were moderated by depressive symptoms and substance use.
methodsA secondary analysis was performed using cross-sectional baseline data from 1,364 AMSM ages 13-18 who participated in the SMART eHealth HIV prevention intervention between 2018 and 2020. Structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis were used to investigate the aims.
resultsInformation and social motivation were indirectly associated with PrEP willingness and intention through behavioral skills. Personal motivation was directly associated with PrEP willingness and intention. Depressive symptoms and substance use were not moderators.
conclusionsAMSM who were more informed about and socially motivated to take PrEP had stronger PrEP-related behavioral skills, and in turn were more likely to be willing and have an intention to use PrEP. AMSM who were more personally motivated to use PrEP were more likely to be willing and have an intention to use PrEP. Results suggest that the IMB model may remain robust in the presence of depression and substance use. These findings support the use of the IMB model in interventions designed to promote PrEP uptake among AMSM. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03511131.
