We tested the hypothesis that a computerized intervention would be as efficacious as an in-person, small-group intervention in reducing sexual risk behaviors. The sexual behavior of high-risk adolescents in 3 intervention conditions was examined: (1) computer based, (2) small groups, and (3) control. Adolescents in the computerized intervention were significantly less likely to engage in sexual activity and reported significantly fewer partners. For some youths, computers are a viable way to deliver prevention information and promote skill development.
在减少性风险行为方面,计算机化干预与面对面的小组干预同样有效。我们考察了处于三种干预条件下的高危青少年的性行为:(1)基于计算机的干预,(2)小组干预,以及(3)对照。接受计算机化干预的青少年进行性活动的可能性显著降低,且报告的性伴侣数量也显著减少。对于一些青少年而言,计算机是提供预防信息及促进技能发展的可行方式。
