This article describes the development of ProjectHeartforGirls.com , an interactive web-based program designed to improve sexual communication skills and reduce the risk of HIV/STDs among adolescent girls, a population at heightened risk for negative sexual health outcomes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013). Although sexual communication is a critical predictor of safer sex among teens, there are few online interventions that target these skills as a central program component. We developed ProjectHeartforGirls.com to fill this gap. Program development involved (1) identifying the target population (ethnically diverse high school girls), (2) clarifying the theoretical foundation (Reasoned Action Model), (3) conducting formative qualitative research (n = 25 girls), (4) drafting initial program content, (5) receiving ongoing feedback from a teen advisory board (n = 5 girls), (6) programming online content, and (7) conducting usability testing (n = 6 girls). These steps are described along with the final intervention product, which is currently being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial.
本文介绍了ProjectHeartforGirls.com项目的开发情况。该项目是一个基于网络的交互式程序,旨在提高青春期女孩的性沟通技巧,降低她们感染艾滋病毒/性传播疾病的风险,这一群体面临着负面性健康结果的高风险(疾病控制和预防中心,2013年)。尽管性沟通是青少年进行更安全性行为的关键预测因素,但很少有在线干预措施将这些技能作为核心项目组成部分。我们开发ProjectHeartforGirls.com项目就是为了填补这一空白。项目开发包括以下步骤:(1)确定目标人群(不同种族的高中女生);(2)明确理论基础(理性行动模型);(3)进行形成性定性研究(n = 25名女生);(4)起草初始项目内容;(5)从青少年咨询委员会(n = 5名女生)获得持续反馈;(6)编写在线内容;(7)进行可用性测试(n = 6名女生)。文中将介绍这些步骤以及最终的干预产品,该产品目前正在一项随机对照试验中进行评估。
