The Multimedia HIV/STI Prevention for Drug-Involved Female Offenders (Project WORTH)
25 février 2014 mis à jour par: Nabila El-Bassel, PhD, Columbia University
Multimedia HIV/STI Prevention for Drug-Involved Female Offenders
The proposed study addresses a significant public health threat of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among drug involved women on probation, parole or other community supervision.
This randomized controlled trial aims to test the efficacy of a multimedia version of a 4-session, gender-specific, integrated drug use and HIV/STI prevention intervention (Multimedia Women On the Road To Health (WORTH)) in increasing condom use and decreasing the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among 420 drug-involved, female offenders in a large community court setting in New York City, compared to a non-media version of the same intervention (Traditional WORTH) and to a 4-session Wellness Promotion condition.

Description détaillée
While it is clear that women inmates in jails and prisons bear a high burden of Human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), the effective development of prevention interventions for this high-risk group require an understanding of HIV risk context, sexual behaviors and attitudes for women while they are still in the community and before they become heavily involved in the criminal justice system.
HIV prevention interventions must focus on women at early points of entry into the criminal justice system, when they are still in the community and at higher risk of engaging in unsafe sex and drug behaviors.
This study focuses on a population of drug-involved women who have been arrested and given a court sanction, but are still living in the community.

Intervention / Traitement |
|---|---|
|
Expérimental: Multimedia HIV/STI prevention
Multimedia WORTH is a 4-session group based gender specific HIV and drug abuse prevention intervention.
|
The Multimedia WORTH intervention features the same core elements as the original version, but these core elements are translated into interactive tools and culturally tailored video vignettes designed to enhance group learning and individualized feedback. Participants will interact with Multimedia WORTH at two levels: (1) group materials will be delivered via computer projection onto a screen and (2) participants will complete individual activities and create journal logs tracking their progress on personalized goals on their personal user accounts using laptop computers. The computer multimedia support tool includes text, imagery, animations, audio and video in a format that guide the facilitator's delivery of the intervention. ***To view pilot features of the Multimedia WORTH intervention in development, please visit the following web address: http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/worth/presentation |

Comparateur actif: Traditional HIV/STI prevention
Traditional WORTH is a 4-session group-based HIV/STI and drug abuse prevention intervention that covers the same content as Multimedia WORTH without the use of interactive videos, computerized assessments, and other audiovisual tools.
|
The basic format of each WORTH session remains consistent following a sequence of 5 steps: (1) an opening (quote, song, poem) which will provide a brief culturally relevant point of inspiration to engage participants (2) Check-in to review material from the previous session, and to discuss any incidents where participants engaged in risk behaviors and to acknowledge positive ways in which women used new skills to avoid HIV risk; (3) a discussion to raise awareness of links between IPV, drug-related activities, and HIV risks; (4) a skills-building component relevant to the discussion; and (5) review and update participant needs, homework assigned for skills-building at home, and a closing ritual.
The WORTH intervention consists of four 2-hour group sessions that are led by a female facilitator.
