Research Interests:
Dr. Kevon Jackman is an HIV Epidemiologist and Prevention Scientist who has focused his career as an STI/HIV interventionalist on the design and implementation health information technology (Health IT) tools that empower youth to engage in their sexual and reproductive health. He has designed and implemented mixed-methods studies to understand perceptions of college-aged youth on using portals for receiving STI/HIV test results and for sharing electronic results with partners (R36 HS023057-01). His early dissertation research is one of the first studies to demonstrate that minoritized youth believe that access to their electronic personal health records improves the occurrence of STI testing communication between partners and the accuracy of screening information shared between partners. His work has led to the development of novel psychometric scales measuring patient portal performance expectancies to support STI/HIV prevention behaviors.
