Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
We will work closely with the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center (RYDC), in Atlanta, Georgia for all four stages of the project. The first stage, adaptation of SiHLE intervention, will be implemented using data collected from a prior study and with use of Community and Teen Advisory Boards (CAB and TAB). The pilot intervention will be completed with 20 participants from Metro RYDC and will test recruitment and retention strategies, the adapted intervention, and all measures. Revisions will be made based on findings from the pilot. For stage four, implementation and evaluation, we propose to recruit 350 unmarried African American adolescent females, 13-17 years of age, from Metro RYDC. While at the Metro RYDC, adolescents will be invited to participate in the proposed study. All adolescents will be required to have verbal informed parental/guardian consent and complete signed assent forms. Adolescents who are eligible and willing to participate in the project will complete an initial survey conducted on a computer(ACASI). The survey is designed to assess adolescents' sexual risk and preventive behaviors. After they complete the survey, adolescents will then be assigned, by chance alone, to receive either the adapted SiHLE intervention or the control condition. All adolescents will complete 3 individual sessions implemented by an African American health educator.
As we anticipate the participants will be released prior to the follow-up assessment, adolescents will come to a central community site to complete follow-up interviews at 3 and 6-months after completing their initial survey. We will also obtain a self-collected vaginal swab specimen to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea. We will compare the new adapted SiHLE intervention, IMARA, to the control condition in its ability to maintain or enhance adolescents' use of HIV prevention behaviors. If successful, the findings could have important implications for HIV prevention in this vulnerable population.
