Teen Health Project: Community-Level HIV Prevention Intervention for Adolescents in Low Income Housing Development
Investigators: Kathleen J. Sikkema, Jeffrey A. Kelly & the Teen Health Project Team.
TEEN HEALTH PROJECT was developed for adolescents ages 12 to 17 living in low-income housing developments. The purpose of the evaluation study was to determine whether the effects of a community-level HIV risk reduction intervention would be stronger when the intervention targeted change in individual-level risk reduction as well as change in the social and peer normative environment.
Participants (n = 1,172) were recruited from 15 housing developments. Developments were randomly assigned to the community-level intervention (5 developments), workshop-only (5 developments), or a control condition (5 developments). Assessments were conducted at baseline, approximately 3 months after completion of the educational sessions, and again approximately 18 months after baseline.
Teen Health Project is a replication kit from Sociometrics’ Program Archive on Sexuality, Health, & Adolescence (PASHA). PASHA, funded by the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development and the Office of Population Affairs, is a collection of effective program replication kits designed to reduce teen pregnancy and STI/HIV/AIDS in adolescents. To facilitate the replication, adaptation and further evaluation of these interventions, all kits are designed to be comprehensive, user-friendly and visually appealing. In establishing the archive, Sociometrics aims to promote the dissemination, creative adaptation, and evaluation of these effective programs. The programs were selected by a scientist expert panel for their demonstrated effectiveness in changing fertility- and STI/HIV/AIDS-related behaviors among teens.
