Area of Science:

  • Health Education
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Software Development

Background:

  • Sexual health education for youth is crucial but faces challenges in delivery and acceptance.
  • Computerized educational tools offer a potential solution but require careful design and validation.
  • Teacher skepticism regarding youth information needs and technology acceptance necessitates robust development models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an interactive prototyping model for developing sexual health software for British youth.
  • To evaluate the software's presentation, design, usability, relevance, enjoyment, and learning outcomes.
  • To assess the feasibility and instructional usefulness of the developed software in school settings.

Main Methods:

  • An iterative development cycle involving user review, feedback, modification, and retesting was employed.
