Objectives:
to develop and validate an educational booklet on HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP).
Methods:
quantitative validation study aimed at developing and validating an educational booklet by experts and the target audience. For validation with experts, we used the Health Education Content Validation Index developed in a virtual environment. For the target audience, we used a questionnaire with questions related to organization, writing style, appearance, and motivation.
Results:
thirty-two experts and 13 PrEP users participated in the study. The analysis was structured on the principles of descriptive statistics, and domains that presented a Content Validity Index equal to or greater than 0.80 were considered satisfactory. The final version of the material was made available in online and printed formats.
Conclusions:
the educational booklet was developed and validated by experts and the target audience, serving as an educational tool to support self-care and awareness of HIV prevention for PrEP users.
