Short message service (SMS) interventions can improve adherence, yet few exist for YPLH. Our study investigated preferences for a game-based SMS intervention among YPLH in Ghana. Thirty-two YPLH, ages 18 to 24, were recruited from an HIV clinic to complete in-depth interviews. Content analysis of interview data revealed areas of technology use relevant to intervention implementation, including mobile communication preferences, internet access, and mobile game use. Participants reported high perceived utility towards intervention features: treatment reminders, gamification components, and involvement of supportive individuals (e.g., providers). Issues with privacy, literacy, and cultural/developmental appropriateness were among concerns raised. Suggestions were made for strengthening basic SMS features (e.g., using code words to protect privacy) and incorporating advanced features (e.g., simplifying game interactions). This novel approach may help engage YPLH in HIV care if carefully developed with attention towards its mechanisms and user preferences.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.302585092994046,"endowment":2.302585092994046,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"35066732","pmcid":"PMC9167246","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4206977526","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"national institute of mental health","grant_id":"K23MH114632","title":null},{"funder_name":"national institute of child health and human development","grant_id":"K24HD062645","title":null},{"funder_name":"NIMH NIH HHS","grant_id":"T32 MH078788","title":null},{"funder_name":"NIMH NIH HHS","grant_id":"L30 MH123946","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Institutes of Health","grant_id":"4K24HD062645-05","title":"Advancing Reproductive Health: Qualitative Methods & Interdisciplinary Mentorship"},{"funder_name":"National Institutes of Health","grant_id":"5K23MH114632-05","title":"A Text-Based Adherence Game for Young People Living with HIV in Ghana"}],"total_grants":6,"fwci":2.1806,"citation_percentile":0.86640258,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2023,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":2},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"green","license":"Springer TDM","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/9167246","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/9167246","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10461-021-03562-9.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10461-021-03562-9/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10461-021-03562-9","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35066732","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Mobile Health and mHealth Applications","ICT in Developing Communities","HIV/AIDS Research and Interventions","03 medical and health sciences","0302 clinical medicine"],"mesh_terms":["Adolescent","Adult","Ghana","Humans","HIV Infections","Video Games","Medication Adherence","Young Adult","Text Messaging","Mobile Applications"],"keywords":["Short Message Service","Health psychology","Psychological intervention","Intervention (counseling)","Qualitative research","Psychology","Service provider","Internet privacy","Medicine","Service (business)","Public health","Applied psychology","Nursing","Computer science","Sociology","Adherence","HIV","Sub-Saharan Africa","Young People","Qualitative Methods","Gamification","Adult","Text Messaging","Young Adult","Adolescent","Video Games","Humans","HIV Infections","Ghana","Mobile Applications","Medication Adherence"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":3,"sdg_label":"3.
