Filter by:The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of an Interactive web-based sexual health literacy program to enhance safe sex practice among female university students. Based on Health Belief Model, the intervention comprising: (1) personalized perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of STIs and cervical cancer; (2) perceived benefits and perceived barriers of safe sex practice via knowledge- based information; (3) cue to action via the local resources; and (4) self-efficacy via narrative stories, which are tailored for female university students, to communicate safe sex messages. The investigators hypothesised that the intervention will enhance consistency of condom use, knowledge, attitude, norms, self-efficacy towards condom use, sexual consent, sexual communication and reduce sexual coercion and casual sex among participants in intervention group compared to those in control group. A multicentered randomized controlled trial will be conducted in 500 female university students in 5 universities with dormitories. Inclusion criteria are unmarried female university Chinese students aged at least 18-year and not received any sexual health intervention in the past 12 months. The main outcome measures will be self-reported consistency of condom use with every partner in 3-month assessments, sexual coercion, sexual consent, casual sex and sexual communication. The study instruments used will be UCLA Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale; Sexual Consent Scale-Revised; Conflict Tactic Scale-Revised; and Sexual Communication Self-Efficacy Scale. The data analysis will be a linear mixed effects model with intervention group and baseline consistency of condom use as the covariates. The investigators expected that the intervention will enhance consistency of condom use with Cohen effect size of 0.3.
The study evaluated if interactive theater in school sex education affects student knowledge, attitudes and behavior regarding condom use. The intervention group got a play, value exercises, chlamydia games, condom school and interactive replay with professional actors and staff from a youth guidance center. The control group got standard sex education from school staff, based on the education guidelines of the Swedish National Agency for Education.
P3 (Prepared, Protected, emPowered) is an interactive smartphone app for HIV-uninfected YMSM and YTW that utilizes social networking and game-based mechanics as well as a comprehensive understanding of what constitutes "best practices" in app development to improve PrEP adherence and persistence in PrEP care.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of a media literacy education program for middle school students with the goal of enhancing decision-making skills to prevent early and risky sexual behavior and teen pregnancy, and encourage healthy relationships.
This study focuses on the implementation of an evidence-based HIV risk reduction intervention for HIV-serodiscordant, heterosexual African American couples ("Eban II") in two geographic areas (Northern and Southern California - roughly, Alameda and Los Angeles Counties) that have a high prevalence of HIV infection and risk conditions among African Americans. The Specific Aims are as follows: 1. To evaluate implementation of Eban for HIV serodiscordant African American couples in 10 CBOs in California. To do this, we will document the implementation process and identify barriers and facilitators to Eban's adoption and use by the CBOs. We will interview 200 staff at CBOs to obtain this information. 2. To evaluate the effect of Eban on behavioral and biological outcomes among 180 couples, specifically incidents of protected sex, proportion of condom use, and incident sexually transmitted infections. Eban will be assessed using a randomized delayed enrollment (waitlist) control design to evaluate the impact of treatment on outcomes at posttest and 3-month follow-up (i.e., at these 10 CBOs, Eban will be conducted and offered to couples and evaluated for effectiveness - that is, how well it works in the real world.) 3. To determine the cost-effectiveness of implementation of Eban, based on implementation costs and potential cost savings.
