Applying the Information–Motivation–Behavioral Skills model to a video-assisted HPV intervention to promote self-screening uptake: a qualitative study in Western Kenya
From the FGDs, we found the direct mechanism linking information, motivation and screening behaviour in our video-assisted HPV educational intervention. The intervention improved women's self-reported HPV-related knowledge and increased their motivation for self-sampling and engagement in preventive behaviours. We recommend scaling up the intervention by bringing the video-assisted education to more clinics in Kisumu.
