N2 - Objective: The study objective was to investigate the impact of an educational digital storytelling intervention (EDSI) on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk perception and knowledge among Nigerian adolescents. Methods: Using a randomized controlled trial design procedure, we recruited 98 Nigerian adolescents who were college students. Data were collected using the Perceived Risk of HIV Scale and the HIV Knowledge Questionnaire and were analysed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that the EDSI was effective in increasing HIV risk perception and knowledge among adolescents in the treatment group compared with those in the no-treatment control group. Conclusion: The EDSI is a useful tool to help adolescents to increase their HIV risk perception and knowledge. Further research and policy changes are needed to support the full implementation of the EDSI in different sectors of Nigerian society and in other parts of the world.
