Usability testing is essential in intervention development but can often feel time-consuming – but it doesn't have to be. Our new preprint offers a hands-on guide to rapid analysis during usability testing and shares our reflections on the process. 🧑🏼‍💻

HIV prevention offers _many_ options.

🔍 Our study explored how #InformedDecisionMaking affects the link between safety priorities and perceived safety.

Felix Steup led the research for his master’s thesis, supervised by Hanne Zimmermann & me. We’re proud of his work and commitment to open science!

Kon je er niet bij zijn, maar wil je toch je stem laten horen?

Starter packs and lists are too clubby. Let's all take responsibility for alerting their owners to names that should be on there. And yes I am talking about equality, diversity, inclusion and decolonising. Find the list owner, suggest a name(s). Simples.

Given the influx of new followers over the past few days (thank you, @dsquared.bsky.social sky.social & @lauramkoenig.bsky.social), it feels safe to say that people are finally moving away from the platform whose owner absurdly labels terms like “cis” and “cisgender” as slurs 🙂

Did men who have sex with men plan to have fewer sexual partners & engage in less sexual activity during the mpox pandemic? 🤔
