Clinic Staff Perceptions of Implementing a Sexual and Reproductive Health Entertainment-Education Program for Young Women of Color.

Objective: Entertainment-education interventions remain underutilized in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) despite evidence that they can be effective and place a low burden on staff. This study explores perceived facilitators and barriers for implementing an entertainment-education video intervention for 18- to 19-year-old African American and Latina women in SRH clinics.

Design: Cross-sectional online survey (n=100) and telephone interviews (n=19) were completed May through August 2018.

Understanding Barriers and Facilitators to Signing Up for a Mobile-Responsive Registry to Recruit Healthy Volunteers and Members of Underrepresented Communities for Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Studies.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) disproportionately affects Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino adults, yet they are underrepresented in AD studies. Recruitment challenges for these populations limit generalizability of findings.

Objectives: This study explores barriers and facilitators to signing up for an AD participant recruitment registry website intended to optimize recruitment of these adults.

Development of a Mobile-First Registry to Recruit Healthy Volunteers and Members of Underrepresented Communities for Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Studies.

Background: Web-based participant recruitment registries can be useful tools for accelerating enrollment into studies, but existing Alzheimer's disease (AD)-focused recruitment registries have had limited success enrolling individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Designing these registries to meet the needs of individuals from these communities, including designing mobile-first, may facilitate improvement in the enrollment of underrepresented groups.

Objectives: Evaluate the usability of a prototype mobile-first participant recruitment registry for AD prevention studies; assess users' perceptions of and willingness to sign up for the registry.

Development, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness of a trauma-informed adolescent self-regulation intervention.

Youth who have experienced trauma often face challenges with self-regulation and can have diminished health outcomes, including those related to sexual and reproductive health. We developed a 12-session blended e-learning intervention for youth involved in juvenile justice systems to encourage healthy sexual decision-making by improving self-regulation skills. This paper describes the development of the program, e-Practice Self-Regulation, as well as an assessment of program acceptability and perceived effectiveness among youth participants.

Overcome the Fear (Vencer el Miedo): using entertainment education to impact adolescent sexual and reproductive health and parent-child communication in Mexico.

Background: Adolescents in Mexico experience high pregnancy and birth rates. A collaboration with Grupo Televisa led to the development of an entertainment-education telenovela intervention, Overcome the Fear (OTF), which aired in 2020 to a national audience and addressed adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics. This study details the development and evaluation of OTF's impact on adolescent contraceptive practices and parent-adolescent SRH communication in Mexico.
