Abstract Introduction Diverse literature on sexual health promotion using social media suggests that increasing information reach and interaction are crucial. This study integrated the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to model the predictors of young adults’ behavioural intention to use and interact with sexuality education on social media. Methods A total of 936 young adults in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa who had access to the internet and Facebook were recruited via Facebook’s advertising platform from 22 May 2020 to 8 June 2020. A structural equation model was fitted on the sample to identify the individual attributes associated with the intention to use and interact with sexuality information on social media. Results About 84% of the young adults in the sample consider social media an appropriate medium for sexual health communication, with Facebook being the most preferred (40%) digital platform for sexual health promotion. Results from the structural equation model showed that performance expectancy (β = 0.18, P < 0.001), social influence (β = 0.09, P = 0.047), effort expectancy (β = 0.25, P < 0.001), facilitating condition (β = 0.33, P < 0.001), and attitude (β = 0.10, P = 0.039) were significantly associated with the intention to access sexuality education on social media. These factors (except attitude) were also significantly associated with the intention to interact with sexual health information on social media. Conclusions Young people with internet access are amenable to receiving and interacting with sexuality information on social media. The use of social media for sexuality education is associated with whether such use is free of effort, endorsed by society, align with their engagements with other messages, and helps them achieve improvement in their sexual and reproductive health. Policy Implications Strategies to increase access and interaction with sexuality information on social media help young people make an informed decision about their sexuality. Such use should also be free of effort, align with the way they interact with other information on social media, and supported by the society.

Objective - Nowadays, people became conscious of their outward appearance and use make-up and skincare to enhance their appearance. The trends in personal care are influenced by the advancement of social media. People use social media to share their opinion, thoughts, and experience about personal care. This study is purposed to analyze aspects such as homophily, authority, and interestingness towards purchase intention as independent aspects with EWOM credibility and source of trustworthiness as a mediating variable. Methodology/Technique – This study uses purposive sampling with 485 respondent samples from Indonesia and uses a method of scaling and structural equation model to see the relationship between variables. Finding and Novelty - The result of this research implies that homophily, authority, and interestingness has a significant effect on the source of trustworthiness. Furthermore, authority and source of trustworthiness has a significant impact on EWOM credibility. EWOM credibility is having a substantial impact on purchase intention. It is also found that homophily, authority, and interestingness strengthen EWOM credibility through a source of trustworthiness. This finding concludes that the source of trustworthiness works to strengthen independent aspects of EWOM credibility rather than depending on EWOM credibility itself. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: Homophily; Authority; Interestingness; Purchase Intention; Source of Trustworthiness; EWOM credibility; Personal care.
