Proteção contra a desinformação sobre vacinas contra o HIV entre meninas adolescentes e mulheres jovens na África do Sul (PROTECT)
7 de agosto de 2026 atualizado por: University of Pennsylvania
As raparigas adolescentes e as mulheres jovens (AMJ) com idades entre os 15 e os 24 anos continuam a suportar o peso das infecções pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (VIH) na África do Sul, apesar dos progressos registados nos programas de prevenção e tratamento.
A suscetibilidade contínua das mulheres jovens à infeção pelo VIH e a adoção subótima de opções de prevenção, como a Profilaxia Pré-Exposição (PrEP), que são altamente eficazes, criam a necessidade de uma vacina contra o VIH para beneficiar as populações em risco substancial de infeção pelo VIH.
No entanto, as lições retiradas de estudos anteriores sobre vacinas e da recente vacina contra a COVID-19 destacaram barreiras significativas à aceitação da vacina, tais como a desinformação generalizada e a hesitação em vacinar.
Estes desafios ameaçam o sucesso da implementação de uma futura vacina contra o VIH.
Com base nestas ideias, este estudo utilizará a teoria da inoculação psicológica para desenvolver e avaliar mensagens sobre vacinas contra o VIH entre raparigas adolescentes e mulheres jovens.
Objetivo principal: comparar as mudanças nas intenções de receber a vacina contra o HIV após a exposição à desinformação em grupos com e sem inoculação psicológica e aumento da economia comportamental.
Objetivos secundários: (1) Comparar a credibilidade e a persuasão das alegações de desinformação e a ameaça motivacional associada à desinformação em grupos com e sem inoculação psicológica e impulso da economia comportamental.
(2) Explorar os efeitos de subgrupos por fatores sociodemográficos e comportamentais relevantes, incluindo risco de HIV, histórico de PrEP, histórico de vacinas contra a COVID-19, hesitação geral em relação à vacinação e evitação de informações.
Os investigadores conduzirão um ensaio clínico randomizado de três braços de 2-3 mensagens de inoculação que abordam mitos emergentes e desinformação sobre a vacina contra o HIV na África do Sul.
Os participantes serão atribuídos aleatoriamente a um grupo de controle ou a um dos dois braços de intervenção: (1) braço de mensagem de inoculação ou (2) melhorar a mensagem de inoculação com insights da economia comportamental.

|---|---|
|
Comparador Ativo: Controlar
Os participantes inscritos no grupo controle receberão informações não relacionadas sobre tópicos de diabetes e nutrição do mesmo comprimento que as mensagens de inoculação.
Consulte o Apêndice 6 para um exemplo de como essa mensagem será estruturada.
Isso fará do grupo controle um grupo de controle de atenção e garantirá que as descobertas não sejam confundidas com o grupo de intervenção gastando mais tempo e recursos atencionais na participação no estudo.

Outro: Mensagem de inoculação aprimorada
Os participantes matriculados no braço de mensagem de inoculação aprimorada receberão mensagens que os alertarão sobre a desinformação iminente da vacina contra o HIV e explica por que essas reivindicações são falsas ou enganosas, as mensagens serão aprimoradas com informações da economia comportamental, consulte o Apêndice 5: "Mensagem de inoculação com um Boost" para um exemplo de mensagem inoculação.
Como parte do impulso da economia comportamental, os participantes podem optar por receber um pequeno token (por exemplo, adesivo, crachá, pulseira) com uma mensagem que promove a vacinação como uma consistência e comprometimento.
