IMARA for Black Male Caregivers and Girls Empowerment (IMAGE)
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Sexually Transmitted Infections (Not HIV or Hepatitis), HIV Infections, Sexual Behavior
In brief
The scientific premise of this research is that individual, interpersonal, and structural factors impact Black girls' sexual reproductive health outcomes (sexually transmitted infection (STI) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)) and experience of sexual violence. This study expands STI/HIV prevention programs to include Black male caregivers, a potentially valuable yet underutilized resource to protect Black girls and reduce their exposure to STI/HIV and sexual violence.
