Optimizing a Multi-Modal Intervention to Reduce Health-Risking Sexual Behaviors: Component Selection

The goal of this project is to evaluate the components of the app-based intervention Mission Wellness to reduce health-risking sexual behaviors (HRSBs; e.g., condom non-use, multiple sexual partners) in active-duty members of the US Military to improve their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and readiness to serve. Following the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework, factorial component selection experiments (CSEs) will be conducted to evaluate which five experimental intervention components (i.e., Narratives, Skills, Scenarios, Future, and Risk) elicit the greatest improvements in the outcomes of interest given key constraints.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Sexually Transmitted Infections; Pregnancy, Unplanned; Military Personnel
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Basic Education ("Education"); Behavioral: Narrative Videos ("Narratives"); Behavioral: Skills Building Videos ("Skills"); Behavioral: Interactive Scenarios ("Scenarios"); Behavioral: Future Life Planning Tool ("Future"); Behavioral: Epidemiological Risk Scenario ("Risk")

Detailed Description

Negative SRH outcomes (e.g., sexually transmitted infections [STIs], unintended pregnancy, STI-related cancers) reduce human performance and undermine military readiness. Service members face unique challenges to maintaining SRH during their military service. HRSBs (e.g., multiple sexual partners, unprotected sexual behavior) offer potential intervention targets to improve SRH. Electronic-health interventions are cost-effective and dynamic, and have the potential to reach millions of users as part of an overall strategy for individual behavior and systems change. In civilian populations, e-health interventions have demonstrated success in reducing HRSBs. However, effective HRSB-prevention interventions must consider the specific values, mission, and context of military populations and settings. The MOST framework is used to develop highly effective, efficient, and economic behavioral interventions that is particularly well suited to be used in this context.

This project aims to address this problem by delivering an optimized app-based prevention intervention package ready for evaluation via a subsequent randomized controlled trial (RCT). The specific purpose of this project is to determine which component(s) should be included in the packaged app-based intervention Mission Wellness for US service members based on their effects on the outcomes of interest (i.e., improved knowledge, motivation, and behavior skills related to SRH and reduced HRSBs) in no more than 25 minutes of content. The components tested in the factorial CSEs include: Narratives; Skills; Scenarios; Future; and Risk. Each component has two levels: "on" (included) or "off" (not included). Main and interaction effects of components will be measured to determine the components constituting the packaged intervention.

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Education+Narratives+Skills+Scenarios+Future+Risk; Participants will receive a version of the Mission Wellness app (intervention) that includes the static educational component and the following components: Narratives, Skills, Scenarios, Future, and Risk	Behavioral: Basic Education ("Education"); All participants will receive the basic educational component in the Mission Wellness app. This component will contain text and media (e.g., images, videos) to teach basic SRH topics. The exact information in this component will be determined by an assessment of baseline SRH knowledge at the start of the intervention.; Behavioral: Narrative Videos ("Narratives"); The narrative video component is a motivation-based component that includes stories of individuals engaging in positive and negative SRH behaviors that lead to either positive or negative outcomes, respectively, in a video format.; Behavioral: Skills Building Videos ("Skills"); The skills-building videos component is a component rooted in behavioral skills that involves the provision of information on how to perform or engage positive SRH behaviors (e.g., correctly using a condom, what to expect when having a Pap smear) via instructional videos.; Behavioral: Interactive Scenarios ("Scenarios"); The interactive scenarios are a behavioral skills-building component that walks through conversations surrounding SRH with select individuals (e.g., partner, healthcare provider), providing suggestions on how to have these conversations and why these conversations are important to have.; Behavioral: Future Life Planning Tool ("Future"); The future life planning tool is a motivation-based component contains a series of questions to help users plan future goals to put current decision making related to SRH into perspective and provide suggestions on how to stay healthy now to be able to achieve those goals later.; Behavioral: Epidemiological Risk Scenario ("Risk"); The risk component is an information- and motivation-based component with tailored epidemiological risk information about relative risk of contracting a specific STI and/or having an unintended pregnancy. Relative risk information will be determined by adjusting variables within the component (e.g., number of partners within the last month, percent of time using condoms).
