Midlife women are an underserved population in the areas of unintended pregnancy and STI prevention yet remain at risk for both health conditions.
A randomized controlled trial of an Internet-based multimedia program to reduce risk of unintended pregnancy and STIs among midlife women was conducted with 164 women ages 40-55 years of age.
Women in the treatment condition compared to the control condition reported significant gains in attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavioral intentions at posttest.
Interventions specifically targeted to midlife women can impact constructs known to reduce risk. Implications for future research and intervention development are presented.
中年女性在意外怀孕和性传播感染预防领域是未得到充分服务的人群，但她们仍然面临这两种健康状况的风险。
对164名年龄在40 - 55岁的中年女性进行了一项基于互联网的多媒体项目随机对照试验，以降低她们意外怀孕和感染性传播感染的风险。
与对照组相比，接受治疗的女性在测试后报告在态度、自我效能感和行为意图方面有显著改善。
专门针对中年女性的干预措施可以影响已知能降低风险的因素。本文还提出了对未来研究和干预发展的启示。
