However, scrutiny of their mediating and moderating roles could provide insights pertinent to the design of effective HIV and AIDS preventative programmes. This study examined whether perceived behavioural control (PBC) and IUC interact with exposure to HIV and AIDS information (EI), ease of access to condoms (EAC) and level of related knowledge (KN) in determining CCU. It also investigated whether PBC and IUC predict CCU through increasing EI, EAC, and KN. A quantitative approach was adopted and data were collected from 607 participants, aged at least 18, living in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The questionnaire administered included pre-existing items, validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis procedures. Regression analyses of the data for mediation and moderation testing were performed using PROCESS macro software for SPSS. The results indicated that none of the SMBEs mediated the non-significant PBC-CCU relationship: <i>B</i> = -0.0258, SE = 0.0199, <i>p</i> = 0.195. Nor did they mediate the significant IUC-CCU relationship: <i>B</i> = 0.0395, SE = 0.0195, <i>p</i> = 0.043. Similarly, none of the SMBEs were found to moderate the PBC-CCU relationship (EI*PBC: <i>B</i> = 0.0034, SE = 0.0056, <i>p</i> = 0.540; KN*PBC: <i>B</i> = -0.0006, SE = 0.0064, <i>p</i> = 0.931; EAC*PBC: <i>B</i> = 0.0011, SE = 0.0059, <i>p</i> = 0.854) as IUC-CCU relationship (EI*IUC: <i>B</i> = 0.0036, SE = 0.0054, <i>p</i> = 0.513; KN*IUC: <i>B</i> = -0.0096, SE = 0.0060, <i>p</i> = 0.111; EAC*IUC: <i>B</i> = 0.0044, SE = 0.0061, <i>p</i> = 0.469).

Our multivariate analysis showed that perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and friends and family supporting vaccination (cue to action) all contributed to the likelihood of whether or not an individual was accepting of the COVID-19 vaccine. Analysis of our open-ended questions showed that individuals also considered the following factors in making decisions to vaccinate for COVID-19: policy restrictions, less worry, social responsibility, lack of trust, conspiracy theories, concerns about side effects and contraindications.

However, systematic evaluations of its effects are scarce, making it difficult for decision-makers to generalize health mediation as a health policy. Our study aims to bridge this gap, by framing a research protocol to evaluate a health mediation intervention. The intervention consists of setting up a biweekly mobile booth using an 'outreach' approach at the base of a social housing complex in 12 neighborhoods of Seine-Saint-Denis with marked indicators of social deprivation. We chose a realistic evaluation approach and a mixed-methods methodology, which is the best fit for assessing complex interventions such as the one we aim to assess.

Community-based norms-shifting interventions (NSIs) identify gender and other social norms linked to unhealthy behaviors and implement activities to promote collective change by encouraging communities to reflect on and question these norms. Though NSIs are gaining international traction in social and behavior change programming for health promotion, how change occurs needs to be clearly understood in African and other contexts. To build understanding and guidance for future NSI design, the applied-research Passages Project and collaborating non-governmental organizations in West and Central Africa conducted realist evaluations of four NSIs focused on adolescent/youth sexual and reproductive health, operating in Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, and Senegal. The evidence base for the realist synthesis came from four quasi-experimental outcome evaluations and 19 rapid implementation studies, which confirmed the four program Theories of Change. The synthesis findings identified eight norms-shifting mechanisms common across NSIs: information provision; dialogical, experiential approaches; role modeling; safe spaces; within-community meetings; planned diffusion; cross-community meetings of change agents; and community-service linkages. NSIs directly, at times indirectly, engaged reference groups that uphold norms, explaining their theoretical roles operationally. These findings led to middle-range theory showing how NSI activities, mechanisms, and reference group engagement should, over time, lead to norms-shifting outcomes. Design implications include developing a fuller understanding of how program components, as norms-change mechanisms, lead to effects; being deliberate about when and how to engage reference groups; and recognizing systems complexity and the subsequent need for NSI implementation elasticity.</p>","PeriodicalId":46805,"journal":{"name":"Global Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"17579759241277493"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143013993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
