An interventional study of REPRO-QUEST Interactive Narrative and Educational Booklet in Sexual Health, Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) and Health Literacy, sponsored by Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-21.
Sponsored by Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of an analog gamification-based interactive narrative intervention (REPRO-QUEST) on enhancing sexual health literacy and behaviors aimed at protecting against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among female university students.
Participants in the intervention group participate in the REPRO-QUEST interactive narrative game session, while participants in the control group receive standard evidence-based educational material on sexual health and STI prevention (an Educational Booklet). Sexual health literacy and protective behaviors against STIs are assessed at baseline and post-intervention to evaluate the efficacy of gamified learning compared to standard educational materials.
Sexual health education among young adults often faces engagement challenges when delivered solely through traditional informational formats. Gamification and interactive narrative-based interventions offer active learning environments that may improve knowledge retention, critical decision-making, and protective behavioral intentions.
In this randomized controlled study, eligible female university students are randomly allocated into two parallel groups:
Intervention Group (REPRO-QUEST): Participants undergo an analog gamification-based interactive narrative session designed to facilitate decision-making scenarios, risk reduction strategies, and practical knowledge application regarding reproductive health and STI prevention.
Control Group (Educational Booklet): Participants receive a comprehensive, guideline-aligned educational booklet covering safe sexual practices, STI prevention strategies (including pharmacological options such as PrEP, PEP, and TaSP), and reproductive health fundamentals.
Outcomes measured before and after the intervention evaluate changes in comprehensive sexual health literacy levels and protective behavioral measures against sexually transmitted infections.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants receive the analog gamification-based interactive narrative (REPRO-QUEST) booklet featuring branching story scenarios for interactive learning on sexual health and STI prevention.
Behavioral: REPRO-QUEST Interactive Narrative
Participants receive a standard evidence-based educational booklet on safe sexual health and STI prevention published by the Turkish Family Health and Planning Foundation (TAPV).
Behavioral: Educational Booklet
An analog gamification-based interactive narrative booklet featuring branching storylines and decision-making scenarios designed to enhance sexual health literacy and STI prevention behaviors.
A standard evidence-based educational booklet on safe sexual health practices and STI prevention published by the Turkish Family Health and Planning Foundation (TAPV).
Behaviors Aimed at Protecting Against Sexually Transmitted Infections
Assessed using the Scale for Behaviors Aimed at Protecting Against Sexually Transmitted Infections. The instrument evaluates protective behavioral intentions, barrier contraceptive practices, risk perception, and preventative measures against STIs. Higher scores indicate greater engagement in protective health behaviors.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention
Sexual Health Literacy Level
Assessed using the Sexual Health Literacy Scale (SHLS). The scale measures overall sexual health literacy across functional, interactive, and critical dimensions. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of sexual health literacy.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention
