Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an online pregnancy prevention intervention that was adapted from the evidence based small group intervention SiHLE.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the POWER Through Choices (PTC) curriculum in increasing contraceptive use and delaying sexual initiation among youth living in group foster care homes.
The purpose of this study is to determine rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among African American women who have sex with women (AAWSW). In addition, the study is interested in better understanding the types of risk behaviors that place AAWSW at risk for STIs. The investigators hypothesis is that AAWSW experience high rates of STIs, similar to heterosexual African American women. Knowledge gained from this study will guide development of interventions to reduce women's risk for these types of infections and will improve how AAWSW are screened for STIs.
The purpose of this study is to if a brief motivational intervention, compared to health education sessions, reduces alcohol and marijuana use and is related to fewer sexually transmitted infections (STI)in emerging adults who are engaging in alcohol and marijuana use.
The study has the following primary aims: (1) to test whether participants assigned to CNU (a 7-session, manualized intervention entitled "Connect 'n Unite") engage in lower HIV/STI behavioral risk compared to participants assigned to WP (a wellness promotion attention control condition); (2) to test whether participants assigned to CNU have lower cumulative incidence of STIs-chlamydia and gonorrhea-confirmed via biological assay compared to participants assigned to WP; and (3) to test whether participants assigned to CNU engage in less drug use compared to participants assigned to WP.
This randomized controlled trial is designed to address gaps in couple-based HIV prevention research by focusing exclusively on HIV negative concordant couples where one or both partners are drug-involved. Building on prior couple-based HIV research that resulted in an evidence-based HIV prevention model for couples (Connect), intervention components were modified to address dyadic drug risk reduction and drug-related unsafe sex and a couple-based HIV risk reduction intervention (Connect II) was designed specifically for drug-involved, HIV negative concordant heterosexual couples at risk for HIV/STIs. For this RCT, couples are recruited primarily through street outreach in drug using locations and randomized into one of three arms: (1) couple-based HIV Risk Reduction condition; (2) individual-based HIV Risk Reduction, which delivered the same content as the couple-based condition but was provided to either the male or female drug-using partner alone; or (3) couple-based Wellness Promotion, which served as an attentional control arm. This RCT tests two major hypotheses: (1) whether the HIV risk reduction intervention provided to the couple or an individual partner would be more efficacious in decreasing number of unprotected acts of intercourse and having a lower cumulative incidence of biologically confirmed STIs over the 12-month follow-up period compared to the Wellness promotion control arm and (2) whether the couple-based HIV risk reduction intervention would be more likely to decrease the number of unprotected acts and have a lower cumulative STI incidence compared to the Individual HIV Risk reduction Arm.
This is a randomized trial to test a brief single session risk reduction counseling intervention on HIV and STI behavioral outcomes in Cape Town South Africa.
This is a CCTG sponsored trial in collaboration with UCSD-AVRC investigators to get more information about the methods that are used on the internet to provide information on how to reduce the risk of giving or getting infections that are often or usually passed from one person to another during sexual or intimate contact (sexually transmitted infection (STI)). STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. The purpose of this study is to develop methods that will allow someone who is living with HIV an easy way that they can get information and learn of ways on their own that can decrease their chances of getting sexually transmitted infections and ways that they can reduce the chance that they may transmit HIV to others.
Project Aware is a randomized controlled clinical trial in which individuals seeking medical or health services at sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics are recruited to participate in a multi-center HIV testing and counseling study. The investigators will assess the relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of (1) on-site HIV rapid testing with brief, participant-tailored prevention counseling vs. (2) on-site HIV rapid testing with information only. The investigators will evaluate the effect of counseling on one primary outcome: STI incidence. Secondary outcomes will be reduction of sexual risk behaviors, substance use during sex (i.e., being under the influence during sex) and cost and cost effectiveness of counseling and testing. Participants will be assessed for sexually transmitted infections, HIV testing history and sexual and drug use risk behaviors at baseline and at 6-months follow-up. Approximately 5,000 individuals seeking medical or health services from approximately 9 STD clinics throughout the United States will be randomized. These individuals will be 18 years of age or older and efforts will be made to recruit a sample of study participants that reflects the proportion of minorities and gender in the STD clinic performance sites from which the investigators are recruiting.
This study will provide new and important information regarding parental knowledge and attitudes of confidential STI and related health care services (prevention, diagnosis and treatment) for teens that may be needed to address the STI epidemic. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this study will gather information necessary to develop effective interventions aimed at the often neglected parent component of the teen-parent-health care provider partnership by giving parents knowledge and skills to help them facilitate their adolescent's access to confidential STI services as needed.
