NCT ID: NCT05889689 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Evaluation of an Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program; Relationship Smarts+ With Lessons From Mind Matters

Start date: September 23, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to assess an innovative adolescent pregnancy prevention program among youth that are at the highest risk of adolescent pregnancy, to prevent pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS in the greater Miami area in Florida. The primary research question it aims to answer is: (RQ1a): What is the effect of adding 4.5 hours of Mind Matters trauma-coping skills curriculum to the Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum, on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the students receiving only the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum? (RQ1b): What is the effect of the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the control group receiving only financial literacy? Participants will complete program lessons and complete surveys for data collection. The RCT will assess behavioral health outcomes and other psychological outcomes at four-time points (baseline, post-program, 3 months, and 12 months)

Families Talking Together (FTT) in Texas

FTT
Start date: December 5, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Power to Decide, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, partnered with the Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health at New York University's Silver School of Social Work, Healthy Futures of Texas, and the Rio Grande Valley Council to implement Families Talking Together (FTT), an evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention program in Texas. This was a randomized clinical trial of a parent-based sexual and reproductive health intervention (SRH) to foster parent-adolescent communication about sex among Latino adolescents. The FTT intervention focuses on the parenting practices that are important to supporting healthy adolescent sexual behavior. As part of the intervention, families also received a module on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to influence greater linkages to health care.The study was conducted with 634 parent-adolescent dyads in Willacy, Starr, Hidalgo, and Cameron counties in South Texas. Parent-adolescent dyads completed a baseline survey and were allocated to either an experimental or control group. Participating dyads completed follow-up surveys 3 and 9 months' post-baseline assessment. The proposed outcomes of the study were increased adolescent report of parent-adolescent communication about sex, decrease in sexual risk behaviors (e.g., sexual debut) as well as increased health care insurance enrollment among Latino families.

eHealth Evidence-based Intervention (EBI) for Latino Youth in Primary Care

Start date: April 18, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the relative effectiveness of a Hispanic-specific eHealth intervention, "e-Health Familias Unidas," in preventing and reducing drug use, sexual risk behaviors, and STIs among Hispanic youth in primary care. Families will be recruited through four pediatric primary care settings. Pediatric staff and research team members, including nurse assistants and mental health professionals, will implement eHealth Familias Unidas.

NCT ID: NCT02188797 Completed - Substance Use Clinical Trials

Substance Use and Sexual Risk Reduction Intervention for Homeless Youth

Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to evaluate a group-based motivational interviewing (MI)-delivered risk reduction program for homeless young adults. It is hypothesized that youth who participate in the program will show greater reductions in substance use intentions, behavior and consequences, as well as sexual activity intentions and risk behavior, over a 3-month period compared to a usual care control sample of youth who do not participate in the program.

NCT ID: NCT01970293 Completed - Alcohol Use Clinical Trials

AA Linkage for Alcohol Abusing Women Leaving Jail

Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aims of this study are to test the hypotheses that among alcohol abusing and dependent jailed women returning to the community, adding an Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) linkage intervention will result in less alcohol use at follow-up, increased AA attendance once released, and decreased HIV/STI sexual risk behavior. Additionally, this study seeks to test the hypotheses that increased AA attendance will mediate the effect of the AA linkage intervention on alcohol use and that percent days abstinent will mediate the effect of the intervention on HIV/STI sexual risk-taking outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT01395979 Completed - Clinical trials for Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic

HIV Prevention and Trauma Treatment for Men Who Have Sex With Men With Childhood Sexual Abuse Histories

THRIVE
Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Brief Summary: The specific aims of this study are: 1. To test, in a two-arm randomized controlled trial, the efficacy of cognitive processing therapy for sexual risk and posttraumatic symptom severity reduction (CPT-SR) in HIV-uninfected men who have sex with men (MSM) who have histories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). The primary outcome is reduction in unprotected anal/vaginal intercourse (number and proportion) with serodiscordant partners. The investigators will also examine the intervention effect on CSA-related trauma symptom severity and cognitions and behaviors. 2. To examine the degree to which intervention-related reductions in sexual risk behavior are mediated by reductions in CSA-related symptom severity, cognitions, and behaviors. 3. To examine the degree to which the intervention reduces incident sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during the study period, as well as to explore additional potential moderators and mediators of intervention efficacy. Study hypotheses: 1. For the primary outcome, the investigators hypothesize that those who receive the intervention will have reduced transmission-risk behavior. 2. For the secondary outcome, the investigators hypothesize that those who receive the intervention will have reduced trauma symptom severity (cognitions and behaviors).

Alcohol Use and Sexual Risk: An Intervention

Start date: September 2002
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adolescents are at great risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (CDC, 2000a; DiLorenzo & Whaley, 1999). Though the CDC (2000b) reports that overall AIDS incidence is on the decline, there has been no comparable decline in the number of newly diagnosed HIV cases among young people aged 13-19, and young people of color are particularly at risk. Compared to the general adolescent population, adolescents involved with the criminal justice system are younger at first intercourse, have a greater number of sex partners, and lower rates of condom use, resulting in higher rates of unintended pregnancy and STDs (e.g., St. Lawrence et al., 1999). Alcohol use is commonly cited as a reason for lack of condom use among high-risk adolescents such as those involved in the criminal justice system (e.g., Morris et al., 1998) and recent data from our research suggests that it is heavy alcohol use in concert with sexual activity that is most strongly related to lack of condom use (Bryan, Rocheleau, & Robbins, 2002a). The goal of this research is to design, implement, evaluation, and disseminate a successful HIV/STD risk reduction intervention that is theory-based, empirically targeted to adolescents, and articulated to a criminal justice setting. The study compares a sexual risk reduction intervention with a group motivational interviewing alcohol component to a standard sexual risk reduction intervention and a no treatment control condition. The investigators hope to show that: 1) A three-hour one-time intervention has the capacity to reduce sexual risk behavior up to one year post-release among high risk adolescents in detention, 2) A combined sexual and alcohol risk reduction intervention will result in larger decreases in sexual risk behavior than a sexual risk reduction alone, 3) The interventions will exert their effects through changes in mediators derived from a theoretically-based model of condom use intentions and behaviors, and 4) A sexual risk reduction intervention including an alcohol component will be especially effective for those adolescents with higher levels of existing alcohol problems. Finally, given proven efficacy, the intervention curricula and materials will be disseminated for use in adolescent detention facilities throughout the state.

NCT ID: NCT00447707 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Positive Choice: Prevention for Positive Health

Start date: December 2003
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized, controlled trial of Positive Choice, an interactive multimedia computer program, to determine whether it can detect and reduce risky behaviors among HIV-positive adults. The behaviors of interest are: unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse, illicit drug use, risky alcohol drinking, and failure to disclose HIV status to sex partners. The Positive Choice program is integrated into the routine operations of outpatient HIV clinics, where participating patients complete an in-depth risk assessment (computerized health questionnaire) before a regularly scheduled medical appointment. Participants assigned to the intervention arm receive brief, interactive risk-reduction counseling by an actor-portrayed Video Doctor and an educational worksheet. Their health care provider receives as summary cueing sheet, alerting them to the patient's risky behavior and readiness to change. Control participants complete the computerized risk assessment and receive the clinic's usual care. Three months after a baseline visit, intervention and control group patients are invited back to complete an additional risk assessment. The intervention group also receives a "booster" intervention. Six months after baseline, both groups complete a final risk assessment.
