Trust in Intimate Health Technologies

https://doi.org/10.5878/6y3e-b797
In 2022 a request to participate in a research interview about people's experiences of using Natural Cycles (a mobile phone application and digital thermometer) as a form of contraception was sent via Natural Cycles to English speaking, Spanish speaking, Swedish speaking and Finnish speaking subscribers of Natural Cycles who had been using Natural Cycles in Prevent mode for more than 6 months. Approx. 300 people responded to this request which resulted in 134 people scheduling and attending an online semi-structured interview. The interviews focus on three core themes - people's reasons for choosing Natural Cycles as a form of contraception and their history of use; people's experiences of using Natural Cycles and reasons they have for trusting or not Natural Cycles as a form of contraception; and people's experiences of sharing Natural Cycles and the data it collects with others (intimate partners, friends, healthcare professionals). The data consists of 134 transcribed interviews in form of .doc files. 108 transcripts are in English, 1 Finnish, 12 Spanish and 13 in Swedish.

Description of the mode of collection:

Semi structured interviews were conducted over a GDPR compliant instance of zoom hosted by KTH university. The majority of the interviews were conducted with video and audio streaming. Interviews lasted between 21 - 90 minutes. At the end of the interview demographic data was collected with each participant (age, gender, sexuality, relationship status, socio-economic status and employment status.) At the end of the interview the video file generated by zoom was deleted. The remaining audio file was transcribed and any names and locations removed. The transcribed data was then coded using an inductive coding scheme.
