The ProGirls Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Delinquency, HIV Risk, Substance Use, Trauma Exposure

In brief

Girls in the juvenile justice system who have high rates of delinquency, drug abuse, and trauma are particularly at risk for engaging in risky sexual behavior and for contracting HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). No effective prevention programs for girls who have this combination of behaviors is known to exist at this time. Researchers are developing, assessing, and implementing a family-centered prevention program to decrease girls' participation in the risky behaviors associated with the spread of HIV and STIs. The program also includes a group-based training and support program for parents.
