This randomized controlled trial tested the efficacy of a Web-based intervention to increase sexual communication between parents and adolescents. Parent/adolescent dyads (n = 660) were recruited from communities in the San Juan area and randomly assigned to the Cuídalos sexual communication or physical activity program. Parent assessments were obtained preintervention and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up. Parents in the experimental group reported significantly more sexual communication (ie, peer pressure, sexual prevention, protection, risk) over time than parents in the control group. Results support the efficacy of the Cuídalos Web-based format and provide insight into future Web-based sexual health interventions for this population.
这项随机对照试验测试了一种基于网络的干预措施在增加父母与青少年之间性沟通方面的效果。从圣胡安地区的社区招募了亲子二元组(n = 660),并将其随机分配到“关爱自己”性沟通或体育活动项目中。在干预前以及3个月、6个月和12个月的随访时对父母进行评估。随着时间的推移,实验组的父母报告的性沟通(即同伴压力、性预防、保护、风险)明显多于对照组的父母。结果支持了“关爱自己”基于网络形式的有效性,并为针对该人群未来基于网络的性健康干预提供了见解。
