AI Article Synopsis
- Developed an interactive Web-based program aimed at preventing HIV, STIs, and hepatitis in youth, particularly those in substance use treatment.
- Findings from a study showed that combining this program with educator-led interventions improved participants' knowledge and intentions regarding safer partner choices.
- The program was found to be more useful than traditional education alone, indicating its potential effectiveness in engaging youth and promoting disease prevention.
Article Abstract
We developed an interactive, customizable, Web-based program focused on the prevention of HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and hepatitis among youth. Results from a randomized, controlled trial with youth in treatment for substance use demonstrated that this Web-based tool, when provided as an adjunct to an educator-delivered prevention intervention, increased accurate prevention knowledge, increased intentions to carefully choose partners, and was perceived as significantly more useful relative to the educator-delivered intervention when provided alone. Results suggest this Web-based program may be effective and engaging and may increase the adoption of effective HIV and disease prevention science for youth. Limitations are discussed.
