Abstract EN
This study is a step towards a behavioral intervention to prevent HIV transmission among Chinese internal migrants.
To explore important and changeable determinants of condom use and inspect effective and feasible methods to increase condom use for the target population, we conducted a three-round web-based Delphi study among a panel of 62 experts between October 2012 and March 2013.
The panelists were purposely selected using a stepwise procedure to represent topic-related areas of expertise.
The response rate per round ranges from 21% to 81%.
The panelists identified 19 possible determinants of condom use and reported 16 intervention methods they considered successful.
They agreed that attitude towards condom use was the most important and changeable determinant, while applying behavioral theory, increasing sexual education and condom access, performing worksite health promotion, detecting risk factors, and working closely with relevant organizations and the government were effective and feasible methods to increase condom use among internal migrants in China.
In conclusion, results of this study highlight the importance of attitude in changing condom use and underscore the need to apply behavior theory and integrate multiple educational approaches for developing behavioral HIV prevention interventions targeting internal migrants in China.
