Detaljerad beskrivning
Caribbean nations, including Jamaica, exhibit HIV rates that are second only to sub-Saharan Africa. Jamaican young women and adolescent girls are at particularly high risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to a number of cultural factors (including male-dominated gender norms and older male partners) and lack of knowledge and skills related to sexual communication, refusal and HIV prevention. Reducing the sexual risk behaviors of Jamaican adolescent females is critical to reducing their risk for HIV/STIs. U.S. studies have shown that parents, particularly mothers, may act as key influences of their daughters' sexual risk beliefs and behaviors. However, no studies have documented these parental effects outside of the U.S. and no studies have evaluated the effectiveness of family-based HIV risk-reduction interventions with international populations, including Jamaican adolescents. Further, it is not yet known whether the instruments used to assess the theoretical constructs of interest are culturally sensitive or appropriate for use with Jamaican adolescents and adults. Hence, the broad objective of this proposal is to develop and test a culturally sensitive, theory-based, gender-specific Jamaican mother-daughter HIV risk-reduction intervention by using community-based participatory research methods and existing collaborative relationships between investigators from the New York University, the University of Pennsylvania Center for Health Disparities Research (PENN) and the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus. Building upon already completed preliminary elicitation research with Jamaican adolescents, parents, teachers and stakeholders, the investigative team proposes to a) conduct in-depth elicitation research into the social, cultural and family factors that influence HIV-related sexual risk behaviors among Jamaican adolescent girls; b) collaboratively develop a culturally appropriate, gender specific, theory-based mother-daughter HIV risk reduction intervention for Jamaican adolescent girls and their mothers; c) enhance the research capacity of the UWI School of Nursing and the sustainability of the intervention program; d) assess the cultural appropriateness of study instruments and adapt and refine as needed; and e) evaluate the effectiveness of the mother-daughter HIV/STI risk reduction intervention through a randomized pilot study. Although the term "mother" is used throughout the application, it is defined based upon the preliminary elicitation research already completed in Jamaica. The term "mother" will be used to represent the primary female guardian or caregiver; this may be the mother, step-mother, aunt, grandmother or other related or unrelated female guardian or caregiver. In the proposed pilot study, the plan is to recruit 360 Jamaican adolescent females, ages 13 - 17 years, and their mothers from non-governmental community-based organizations (CBOs) in and around Kingston, Jamaica and randomly assign them to either a mother-daughter HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention condition or a "no intervention" waitlist control condition that includes only a brief educational activity addressing heart disease. The HIV risk-reduction intervention will be implemented by trained adult Jamaican women (nurses and CBO staff). The adolescent component is designed to reduce HIV-related sexual risk behaviors (e.g., sexual intercourse, unprotected intercourse, multiple partners); the mother component is designed to increase those parenting behaviors (e.g., monitoring and parent-teen sexual risk communication [PTSRC]) associated with reduced adolescent sexual risk-taking. A "no intervention" waitlist control condition is being employed as the proposed project is a pilot study of the HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention. Should the pilot study find evidence of intervention effectiveness, a full RCT study with long-term follow-up and examination of moderation of intervention effects will be proposed in a subsequent application.
There are four specific aims for the proposed project. Aim 1 is to conduct broad, in-depth elicitation research using community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods in order to elucidate the social, cultural and family factors that influence Jamaican adolescent girls' sexual risk-taking during Years 01 and 02. Aim 2 is to develop a culturally appropriate, gender specific, theory-based, skill-building mother-daughter HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention during Year 02. Aim 3 is to evaluate the cultural appropriateness of our commonly used measures and research instruments using both qualitative and quantitative methods in Year 02. The remaining Aims evaluate the effectiveness of the Jamaican Mother-Daughter HIV/STI Risk-Reduction Project through a randomized pilot study. Aim 4A is to examine whether mothers in the HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention condition show a greater increase in intentions and actual parenting behaviors (monitoring and PCSC) at 3- and 6-month follow-ups compared with mothers in the control group. Aim 4B is to examine whether adolescent girls in the HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention condition show a greater increase in intentions and reduction in actual sexual risk behaviors (sexual intercourse, unprotected intercourse, number of sexual partners) at 3- and 6-month follow-ups compared with girls in the control group. Aim 4C is to examine whether adolescents in the HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention exhibit a lower incidence of clinically documented STIs at 6-month follow-up compared with the adolescents in the control condition. Aim 4D is to identify why and how the mother-daughter HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention works (i.e., mediation of effects). The mother-daughter intervention is based on a family expansion of the Theory of Planned Behavior. The intervention is intended to affect the adolescents' sexual risk behaviors (abstinence, intercourse, unprotected intercourse, condom use, number of partners) by affecting their behavioral, normative and control beliefs and intentions toward safer sex and sexual risk behaviors. It is also designed to affect mothers' key parenting behaviors (monitoring and PTSRC) by affecting their behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs, and intentions toward those parenting behaviors. Parenting behaviors should, in turn, indirectly affect adolescents' sexual risk beliefs, intentions and behaviors. Thus, these theoretical mediators will be assessed in order to understand why the intervention is effective or not. Findings from this study will contribute to the development of effective HIV/STI risk-reduction programs for Jamaican adolescent girls. Significant information will also be gained regarding the design of effective family-based interventions, how to partner with international organizations and communities, and how to develop culturally appropriate instruments and effective HIV risk-reduction interventions for use with international populations at highest risk for HIV/AIDS.

Experimentell: Behavioral Intervention
The adolescent HIV/STI risk-reduction intervention aims to: (a) increase knowledge of HIV risk and prevention; (b) strengthen behavioral beliefs regarding abstinence and safer sex; (c) increase self-efficacy and intentions to avoid unsafe sex; and (d) increase sexual communication and refusal skills.
The mother component includes much of the same prevention knowledge and addresses parent-teen sexual risk communication, monitoring, and sexual role modeling.
Interventions are held on two consecutive Saturdays for 6 hours each day.
Mothers' groups meet separately from daughters' groups, although the groups will come together for the last module of each day.

Inget ingripande: Control Group
The control / comparison group is essentially a "no intervention / wait-list" control group.
However, during pilot testing, participants expressed a strong desire to engage in some type of health activity.
As a result, the control group members, both mothers and daughters, participated in a brief educational activity on reducing risk for cardiovascular disease.
The educational activity was limited to a few hours on one Saturday.
Participants returned the following week to complete post-test questionnaires along with the participants in the experimental group.
