Within the Dutch sexual health intervention Sense.info, we utilized a mixed-methods cyclic evaluation process to assess and optimize the potential impact of the chlamydia page. This paper reports on the page's optimization through the development of role model stories for chlamydia prevention and the subsequent evaluation of these stories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The experiences of 10 young individuals served as the basis of role model stories using the behavior change principle modeling based on social cognitive theory. These stories aimed to motivate young individuals to undergo sexually transmitted infection testing, use condoms, and notify sexual partners. Once the stories were posted online, we tracked use data between July and September 2022 and investigated end-user perspectives through a think-aloud study combined with semistructured interviews ( N\u2009=\u200920, M\n                      <jats:sub>age\u2009<\/jats:sub>\n                      =\u200919.7, SD\n                      <jats:sub>age\u2009<\/jats:sub>\n                      =\u20092.65).

The exploration of end-user perspectives indicated a positive impact of the personal stories on normalization, self-efficacy, and skills related to chlamydia preventive behaviors. Mixed results were found regarding some conditions for the effectiveness of the behavior change principle modeling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provided valuable insights into the cyclic evaluation process for evaluating and optimizing web-based public health interventions, as well as the potential impact of role model stories on sexual health prevention.
