Adapting and Evaluating an EBI to Prevent HIV/AIDS Risk Among Apache Youth
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV/AIDS
In brief
The investigators seek to adapt, implement and evaluate a randomized controlled trial of an evidence based intervention delivered by Apache interventionists to reduce HIV/AIDS risk, targeting Apache adolescents. Specific study objectives include: 1. To perform formative research through focus groups and individual interviews on attitudes, practices and intervention preferences among Apache adolescents and community stakeholders. 2. To adapt the Focus on Youth (FOY) evidence-based intervention using findings from the formative research, components of Protection Motivation Theory, and input from a community advisory board. 3. To enroll 304 White Mountain Apache youth ages 13-19 to participate in a randomized intervention trial measuring behavior change at 6- and 12- months follow-up. 4. To determine the feasibility of gathering biological specimens via self-administered swabs to track sexually transmitted diseases among 18-19 year olds enrolled in this and future studies.
