Girls' rates of drug use have met up with, and in some instances, surpassed boys' use. Though girls and boys share risk and protective factors associated with drug use, girls also have gender-specific risks. Interventions to prevent girls' drug use must be tailored to address the dynamics of female adolescence.
One such intervention, called RealTeen, is a 9-session, web-based drug abuse prevention program designed to address such gender-specific risk factors associated with young girls' drug use as depressed mood, low self-esteem, and high levels of perceived stress as well as general drug use risk factors of peer and social influences. Web-based delivery enables girls to interact with the program at their own pace and in a location of their choosing.
This paper describes the processes and challenges associated with developing and programming a gender-specific, web-based intervention to prevent drug use among adolescent girls.
女孩的吸毒率已赶上,在某些情况下甚至超过了男孩。虽然女孩和男孩有与吸毒相关的共同风险和保护因素,但女孩也有特定性别的风险。预防女孩吸毒的干预措施必须量身定制,以应对女性青春期的动态情况。
一种名为“真实青少年”的干预措施是一个为期9节的基于网络的药物滥用预防项目,旨在解决与年轻女孩吸毒相关的此类特定性别风险因素,如情绪低落、自尊心低和感知压力水平高,以及同伴和社会影响等一般吸毒风险因素。基于网络的交付方式使女孩能够按照自己的节奏并在自己选择的地点与该项目互动。
本文描述了开发和规划一项针对特定性别的基于网络的干预措施以预防少女吸毒所涉及的过程和挑战。
