Abstract
In-depth interviews with 30 cisgender Black women aged 18-34 were conducted in the Deep South to explore perspectives on mobile clinics for sexual health services. Participants described a variety of positive initial perceptions of mobile clinics, including their potential to address structural barriers. Concerns included privacy, stigma, clinic legitimacy, and safety. Recommendations included improving marketing, partnering with trusted organizations, and adding aesthetically appealing and comfortable designs.
