BACKGROUND: Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the mpox virus (MPXV), which has recently exhibited human-to-human transmission globally. Due to its hidden nature and high-risk behaviors, men who have sex with men (MSM) has become a focal point for mpox prevention and control. This study evaluates the impact of health interventions on mpox knowledge awareness among MSM.
METHODS: Through pre- and post-MIP surveys, we analyzed the awareness of mpox knowledge, preferences for acquiring mpox information, and preferred channels among MSM. Data collection occurred from August 2023 to March 2024, with a total of 1514 valid questionnaires collected. The Mpox Intervention Program (MIP) included the development and distribution of educational materials, Voluntary Counseling and testing (VCT) clinic consultations, and surveys.
RESULTS: Post-intervention, the total score for mpox knowledge awareness significantly increased from 58.50 to 68.47 (P <0.001), and the knowledge awareness rate rose from 48.66 % to 64.60 % (P <0.001). The intervention significantly improved participants' understanding of mpox incubation period, asymptomatic infections, transmission routes, and prevention measures (P <0.001). MSM preferred obtaining mpox knowledge through new media and internet social platforms, with no significant changes in preferences pre- and post-MIP.
CONCLUSION: The MIP effectively improved mpox knowledge awareness and cognitive levels among MSM. These findings provide scientific evidence for optimizing health education strategies and controlling the spread of mpox.
