HIV Intervention Among Women at High Risk (ICPSR 35920)
Released/updated on: 2015-06-11
Geographic coverage: China (Peoples Republic)
This study is a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a peer-led multilevel and multi-component HIV intervention among women at high risk in China. The intervention is tested on 712 women working in the entertainment industry, divided at random into two groups. Both groups receive standard voluntary counseling and testing (VCT). The intervention group receives additional motivation-enhancing and gender-specific empowerment skills trainings delivered by trained peer educators, peer outreach, and a structural intervention to promote social, normative, and working environments supportive of HIV risk reduction. The intervention's efficacy is evaluated through assessments of self-reported HIV risk and preventive behaviors and newly detected STIs at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups.

Released/updated on: 2015-06-03
Geographic coverage: United States
This project evaluates an intervention aimed at increasing contraceptive use for incarcerated women as they re-enter their communities. 400 women from Rhode Island women's jails are randomly assigned to one of two interventions: three sessions of personalized Motivational Interviewing with Computer Assistance (MICA) or three sessions of Didactic Educational Counseling (DEC). MICA is based on the principles of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and on Motivational Interviewing (MI), an empirically supported counseling technique designed to enhance readiness to change targeted behaviors. The DEC provides didactic information about contraception, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and abstinence.
