Trial Outcomes & Findings for A South African Pilot Worksite Parenting Program to Prevent HIV Among Adolescents (NCT NCT01432756)

NCT ID: NCT01432756

Last Updated: 2015-09-09

Results Overview

Measured using the Parent-Child Communication Scale (communication on sexual and HIV topics that the intervention covers) for both parent and child participants in pre- and post-assessments. This is a measurement of the number of sex and HIV topics discussed. 16 topics were assessed, including how women get pregnant, how to use condoms to prevent pregnancy and HIV, and how to recognize sexual pressure. For each topic, participants answered yes or no if they discussed it, and then rate between 1-16 to indicate their communication (higher scores mean better communication). The total scores is reported as the sum of the 16 items, and can range from 0-16.
