Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will implement and test a brief, tailored individual-level intervention to be used in two New Orleans adolescent clinics with female patients aged 16-24 who douche.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study implements a client-centered behavioral intervention (CCBI) based on Prochaska's Transtheoretical Model of Change (TMC) and the intervention will use Miller's Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. This intervention will be evaluated using (1) an audio/computer-assisted self-administered interview (ACASI) survey to assess changes in respondents' douching knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and (2) biological testing for Bacterial Vaginosis.
