Parent Education for Young Teen Females

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study has the potential to improve understanding of the link between early alcohol and sexual initiation and to provide a proven, selective, female-focused intervention for addressing these risks. The goal is to set young women on a course that protects their health and reduces the burden that problem drinking and HIV disease is taking on African American and Latino communities.

Clinical Trial Description

The aims of this study are to to characterize and address the combined risks of early alcohol use and early sexual initiation within a population of urban African American and Latina adolescent females who are at high risk for HIV, AIDS, and other STI. Past research by the investigative team has documented that nearly 10% of females in our target population have initiated sex by fall of 7th grade and more than half have done so by spring of 10thgrade. Although alcohol use is more comparable with national figures, the combination of early alcohol and early sexual initiation is troubling, yet under-addressed by existing interventions. We will develop and test an intervention that builds upon a promising strategy for influencing adolescents: parent education. Three parenting mechanisms shown to influence adolescent risk behavior are targeted: parental monitoring, household rule setting, and communication. Informed by a community advisory board and a series of focus groups, a set of three audio-cds for parents of young adolescents will be developed. Through dramatic role-model stories, these CDs will help parents address alcohol prevention and the link between early alcohol use and sexual initiation and risk taking. Families and middle school daughters will then be enrolled into a randomized pilot test of the intervention's efficacy. Parent and student surveys will be conducted at baseline and 3-month post-intervention follow up to assess whether the intervention is beneficial in terms of promoting positive parenting practices, positive attitudes toward healthy behaviors, and reducing girls' risks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
