An evaluation was conducted to describe the personal impact of the "In Your Care" pregnancy prevention intervention program using Baby Think It Over infant simulator. Data was collected regarding the attitudes, actual and intended sexual practices, feelings, and opinions of participants 2 or 3 years after the intervention. Student recommendations for program continuation and improvement were also solicited. Male and female 11(th) grade students in rural and suburban Midwestern communities, who had experienced the program 2 or 3 years earlier, completed surveys and were interviewed in focus groups. Participants vividly recalled and described the simulated experience in statements that reflected insight and feelings about parental responsibility and the consequences of teen pregnancy. The teens also made several recommendations for enhancing the program. The findings suggest that simulated experiences can be a powerful strategy for effective learning about complex decisions regarding the risks of sexual activity and the realities of parenting.
开展了一项评估，以描述使用“宝宝想一想”婴儿模拟器的“关爱之中”预防怀孕干预项目对个人的影响。在干预两到三年后，收集了有关参与者态度、实际和预期性行为、感受及意见的数据。还征求了学生对项目延续和改进的建议。中西部农村和郊区社区两到三年前参加过该项目的十一年级男女学生完成了调查问卷，并参加了焦点小组访谈。参与者生动地回忆并描述了模拟体验，这些描述反映了他们对父母责任以及青少年怀孕后果的深刻理解和感受。这些青少年还对改进该项目提出了若干建议。研究结果表明，模拟体验可以成为一种强有力的策略，有效地帮助人们了解有关性活动风险和为人父母现实的复杂决策。
