We randomly selected 100 men aged 18-35 from week blocks, close to Somekele using the AHRI surveillance data. These men were approached and invited to participate in the intervention. Those who agreed were provided with information on the first session.
We also approached other men living in the same community, also aged 18-35 years, through peer navigators, who may be interested in the study.
Men who attended any intervention session, provided attendance data.
