Brief summary

Detailed description
In Aim 1/Year 1, the investigators will develop the ethnodrama intervention; no data collection activities are included. In Aim 2/Year 2, the investigators will pre-test the ethnodrama intervention with invited groups of young women and members of young women's socio ecology (i.e., male partners, female peers, healthcare providers, informal community leaders, and family members).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability of the intervention storylines and interactive components | Immediately post-intervention | The investigators will gather feedback on the acceptability of the storylines (e.g., perceptions of whether the storylines seem relatable) and interactive components, as measured by several single-item questions scored from 1 (strongly agree) to 6 (strongly disagree), with lower scores reflecting greater acceptability. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Potential effectiveness of the intervention's storylines on "transporting" participants, as measured by a brief interviewer-administered survey using the Narrative Transportation Scale (NTS). | Immediately post-intervention | The Storytelling/Narrative Theory (Lee et al., 2016) suggests that when audiences become deeply absorbed in a story (i.e., when the story is relatable and audiences identify with the characters), they are more likely to reflect on and reconsider their existing beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. The NTS includes 12 items scored from 1 (strongly agree) to 6 (strongly disagree), with lower scores reflecting greater transportation into the story. Example questions include: "While you were watching the play, you could easily see the stories in it taking place in real life." and "You could picture yourself or someone you know in the stories described in the play." |
