Ma3looma is OneWorld's project in Egypt, which provides young people with accurate, non-judgmental and confidential sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information using information and communication technologies (ICTs). Ma3looma manages one of the most popular dynamic SRHR websites in Arabic (Ma3looma.net), with new content created every week. The website is linked to social media channels, of which the Facebook page is the most popular with a growing fanbase (currently counts over 450,000 likes). Ma3looma also operates a question-and-answer platform that connects young people to trained counsellors for answers to their SRHR questions via SMS, email, Facebook message and Ask.fm. The online platform developed by OneWorld enables the counsellors to respond to young people's questions in an accurate, timely and confidential manner.

Supporting the global efforts in strengthening the safety, security and resilience of Cyberspace, the Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum 2013, organised by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation. The ceremonial opening examined how Cyberspace could be governed and utilised in a manner to foster freedom and entrepreneurship, while protecting individuals, property and the state, leading to socio-economic development. Speakers of this session, Mr Mario Maniewicz, Chief, Department of Infrastructure, Enabling Environment and E-Applications, ITU; Mr David Pollington, Director, International Security Relations, Microsoft; Mr Alexander Seger, Secretary, Cybercrime Convention Committee, Council of Europe; Mr Nigel Hickson, Vice President, Europe, ICANN and Mr Pierre Dandjinou, Vice President, Africa, ICANN, added their perspectives on various approaches to Cybergovernance, with general agreement on the role Cyberspace could play to facilitate development equitably and fairly across the world. Hosted by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of Cameroon together with the Telecommunications Regulatory Board of Cameroon and backed by partners and industry supporters including ICANN, Council of Europe, Microsoft, MTN Cameroon, AFRINIC and Internet Watch Foundation, the Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum 2013 seeks to broaden stakeholder dialogue to facilitate practical action in Cybergovernance and Cybersecurity, some of which will be reflected in the CTO’s own work programmes under its Cybersecurity agenda.

Zines (mini, independently created magazines) have been used throughout history as a tool to explore social and political issues. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the history of zines. After a short presentation of the presenter's use of zines with Planned Parenthood's PG-13 Players, Vanderbilt LGBTQI Life, Students of Stonewall LGBTQI youth activism team, and Advocates for Youth, we will brainstorm together ways in which zines can be used in organizing and similar work, identify at least one practical way each of us can use zines in our life and work, and learn how to create a zine out of a single sheet of paper. Online resources and tools that can be used to amplify resources will be presented. Examples of zines in youth, health, and technology fields will be provided.

Telemedicine is a collection of means or methods for enhancing health care, public health and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technologies. With more than 95% of adults, and 100% of young adults between the age of 18-29 owning a cell phone in the United States, a technology-based health intervention can be available to hard-to-reach populations or underserved areas. Panelists will engage a rich dialogue and showcase innovative and effective ways to create prevention programs for HIV and STDs using the potential telehealth can offer, specifically with linking young people to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. This plenary brings together leaders in the field of HIV prevention, research and policy along with private organizations and companies that are currently active on the field of biomedical prevention.

Adolescents living with HIV need accurate information about their diagnosis, care, and treatment; as well as long-term counseling and support. In-person support groups are a promising approach to meeting these needs, however some ALHIV face distinct challenges to attending regular in-person meetings. Virtual support groups may help to overcome challenges such as transportation costs, living away from home because of school or work, fear of stigma, or perceived danger associated with disclosure to household members. In this session attendees will learn how FHI 360, on behalf of YouthPower Action, is currently adapting the evidence based â€œPositive Connections: Leading Information and Support Groups for Adolescents Living with HIV, for delivery via Facebook.

It seems like there's a mobile app for just about everything nowadays even ones that can help you find that special someone. Although dating apps are great for finding new partners, they can also provide a platform for discriminatory language and behaviors, which can eventually lead to negative health outcomes. In this presentation, I'm going to combine data from qualitative interviews with gay men and actual language used on dating app profiles to shed light on how discrimination on these dating apps translates to negative health outcomes. Many LGBTQ folks rely on various technologies to connect with one another including LGBTQ youth but then face discrimination from those within their own community. Join me as I try to brainstorm solutions and reimagine the future of inclusive dating apps.

Are your social media ads flopping? Still using a flyer to recruit youth for research studies? Learn the to-do's and to-don'ts of using social media to recruit youth for research studies and programs. We recruited over 2,500 young women into two national randomized controlled trials to test two sexual health digital tools. We will show you our process for selecting the appropriate social media format to reach youth, developing relevant materials that makes youth click, and monitoring the campaigns to assess their effectiveness. We will share examples of our own materials, graphics, messages, recruitment videos, and tag lines used to entice youth. See how some flopped and how others exceeded our expectations. We will also present concrete data on recruitment cost, relevance, clicks, and reach, and how to tweak your campaigns to stay within budget and be more effective.

Can games improve the delivery of health services? We think so that's why our team has set out to explore whether gamification, the use of game elements in non-game contexts, can enhance services to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. We hypothesize that the foundational elements of games competition, collaboration, skill acquisition, and fun can motivate young men to engage in positive health behaviors to protect themselves and their communities. We are a team of epidemiologists, economists, clinicians, and game experts working together to understand whether games can be useful additions to the clinical setting.

A360 revolutionizes the way adolescent girls access contraceptives by flipping the model and starting with what matters to her. In Tanzania, A360 has co-designed with girls a program called Kuwa Mjanja, where girls can "be smart" (Swahili translation) and learn about themselves both their bodies and their dreams. Kuwa Mjanja inspires and opens possibilities, empowering girls to take action by considering contraception as "the first step to taking control of your future now." Connecting with Sara (CwS) is a DHIS2-powered, open-source platform to track, link, and engage with Sara (our client) through use of mobile phones to facilitate engagement with community mobilizers, service providers, and follow-up efforts. CwS enables a new way to engage with and bring service delivery closer to Sara. The platform powers program teams to engage more dynamically with Sara and to actively use data to inform pathways to method adoption.

Over the course of the past four years, the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) repeatedly adapted the OppiaMobile platform an open-source, Android-based application for use in diverse country contexts. Each subsequent OppiaMobile app is developed as part of an evolving global system that supports thoughtful creation, curation, packaging and distribution of health-related content for health workers. With each subsequent adaptation of the OppiaMobile platform, CCP expands its ability to design and develop, sustainable context-specific job aids and BCC tools for frontline health workers and their clients.

During this presentation we will join in live conversation with 18-24 year olds in Kenya using mSurvey. We will develop a mobile conversation to answer any burning questions from the audience while also demonstrating best practices for mobile (e.g, concise content limited to 10 questions and 160 characters per question). Conversational responses from actual Kenyans will be viewed in real time allowing for a dynamic and iterative conversation about the most pressing issues impacting Kenyan youth today. Following the live conversation, we'll engage in a guided discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of mobile as a channel for connecting with global youth such as costs, ethical considerations, and content limitations.

The intersection of community engagement, research, and interactive technology is an innovative way for youth to develop leadership and 21st century skills. The California Adolescent Health Collaborative and community health clinic partners, Livingston Community Health and Asian Health Services, developed Project PARTNER, where youth in rural and urban communities learn critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative processes through researching community health issues. \n\nYouth and adult allies from the health clinics were recruited to be members of a cross-generational and cross-regional community advisory board and were trained in research methodology. The online educational technology platform Kahoot!, and the mobile app Kahoot!, were utilized in training members on research fundamentals. The advisory boards then developed community surveys through Google Forms and utilized its mobile app feature to canvas neighborhoods to obtain community data. With data collected, they will develop research questions and participate in collaborative cross-site activities to support their research.

Female sex workers (FSWs) are disproportionately affected by HIV and gender-based violence (GBV). Substance use has been shown to overlap with these co-occurring epidemics to further increase FSWs' risk for negative health outcomes. However, limited research has explored how aspects of the sex work environment shapes this risk. In this session, we will discuss findings from a mixed methods study that examined how aspects of the sex work environment facilitate alcohol use and increase FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV. We will then discuss the implications these results have for future interventions, with a special focus on the role technology can play in addressing aspects of the sex work environment to limit alcohol use and reduce FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV.
