Latina teen pregnancy rates continue to be a health disparity in the United States. This study evaluated a parenting intervention using interactive theater to facilitate Latino parent-adolescent communication about sexuality and pregnancy prevention. The intervention, conducted in Spanish and with teen actors, consisted of scenes involving the audience. Fifty-nine parents participated in this 3-month prospective study. Spanish measures of comfort with communication, general communication, and parent-child sexual communication were employed comparing paired t tests for each scale. Acceptability of the intervention was assessed and demonstrated. Eighty-six percent of parents used information from the performance to talk to their child. Improvements in general communication (p < .02), sexual communication (p < .001), and comfort (p < .001) occurred. Interactive theater is an innovative approach to facilitate Latino parent communication about sexuality and pregnancy prevention.
在美国，拉丁裔青少年怀孕率仍然是一个健康差距问题。本研究评估了一种育儿干预措施，该措施利用互动戏剧来促进拉丁裔父母与青少年就性和怀孕预防进行沟通。该干预措施以西班牙语进行，由青少年演员参与，包含涉及观众的场景。59名家长参与了这项为期3个月的前瞻性研究。采用西班牙语的沟通舒适度、一般沟通以及亲子性沟通量表，并对每个量表进行配对t检验。评估并证明了该干预措施的可接受性。86%的家长利用表演中的信息与孩子交谈。在一般沟通（p < 0.02）、性沟通（p < 0.001）和舒适度（p < 0.001）方面都有改善。互动戏剧是促进拉丁裔父母就性和怀孕预防进行沟通的一种创新方法。
