To determine the effectiveness of an educational video entitled Syphilis and Men to increase syphilis knowledge among at-risk Black and Hispanic male patients.
In this randomized controlled trial, participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups and completed a pre-test survey, viewed the video (intervention group) and/or completed a post-test knowledge survey. Our analysis assessed whether the intervention group in comparison to the control group had an increase in syphilis knowledge, regardless of self-reported socio-demographic and sexual behavior characteristics associated with increased risk for syphilis infection.
Two hundred and six (206) males were studied. The intervention group participants scored on average 24.8 percentage points higher than the control group participants (p<.001) on the post-test survey after viewing the video. This difference was present regardless of certain self-reported socio-demographic and sexual behavior characteristics associated with increased risk for syphilis infection.
The Syphilis and Men video is a five-minute, low-cost tool that increased syphilis knowledge among Black and Hispanic male patients and could have similar effects in other settings.
确定名为《梅毒与男性》的教育视频在提高高危黑人及西班牙裔男性患者梅毒知识方面的有效性。
在这项随机对照试验中，参与者被随机分配到四组之一，并完成了一项预测试调查，观看了视频（干预组）和/或完成了一项测试后知识调查。我们的分析评估了与对照组相比，干预组的梅毒知识是否有所增加，而不考虑与梅毒感染风险增加相关的自我报告的社会人口统计学和性行为特征。
研究了206名男性。观看视频后，干预组参与者在测试后调查中的平均得分比对照组参与者高24.8个百分点（p<0.001）。无论与梅毒感染风险增加相关的某些自我报告的社会人口统计学和性行为特征如何，这种差异都存在。
《梅毒与男性》视频是一个五分钟的低成本工具，它增加了黑人及西班牙裔男性患者的梅毒知识，并且在其他环境中可能产生类似的效果。
