Digital health usability assessments can help explain how mHealth applications targeting young people with sexual and reproductive health information performed and whether or not the intended purpose was achieved. Few digital health assessments have however been conducted to evaluate young people’s perceptions regarding mHealth system interactions and content relevance on a wide range of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics. Additionally, majority of randomized control trials (RCTs) have focused on push messaging platforms; the mHealth field therefore lacks enough RCTs investigating on-demand mHealth. The objective of our study was to explore young people’s experiences using an on-demand sexual and reproductive health mHealth platform in Kenya.
