Conclusions
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS
The PWM-based intervention module delivered via web-based animated videos in this study was effective in reducing the intention and willingness to sext apart from improving the knowledge of sexting, attitude, perceived norms, and prototype perceptions among diploma students. This intervention can be implemented by relevant agencies involved in the promotion of SRH of young adults in Malaysia. Further research can explore the best ways to increase the effect size of the outcomes, such as providing regular reminders of the contents of the intervention via other web-based approaches.The authors would like to thank the director-general of Health Malaysia and the director-general of National Population and Family Development Board Malaysia for their permission to publish this paper.
