Brief Summary
This is a pragmatic, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of two methods (crowdsourcing versus social marketing) for creating one-minute videos promoting condom use among MSM and TG in China. Crowdsourcing is the process of shifting individual tasks to a large group, often involving open contests and enabled through multisectoral partnerships.
