Respecting the Circle of Life (RCL) is a teen pregnancy prevention program that was evaluated for effectiveness on sexual health risk behaviors through a two-arm randomized control trial (RCT) with American Indian (AI) youth ages 11-19. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of RCL compared to a control group on items of condom and contraception self-efficacy. Linear regression analysis was used to compare differences in each item that included condom and contraception self-efficacy scales among the intervention and control participants at baseline, 3 and 9 months post intervention. Youth enrolled in the intervention reported higher levels of condom and contraception self-efficacy across almost all individual items. Exceptions include items related to partner negotiation of condom self-efficacy at 3 months (p = 0.227) and 9 months (p = 0.074) post intervention. Findings indicate RCL is effective at improving overall condom and contraception self-efficacy but did not impact the specific component of partner negotiation for either condom or contraception self-efficacy. This inquiry provides rationale to further explore components of RCL related to partner negotiation.
尊重生命圈(RCL)是一项青少年怀孕预防计划,通过一项针对 11-19 岁美国印第安青年的两臂随机对照试验(RCT)评估其对性健康风险行为的有效性。本研究的目的是调查 RCL 对避孕套和避孕自我效能项目的影响与对照组相比。线性回归分析用于比较干预组和对照组在基线、干预后 3 个月和 9 个月时的避孕套和避孕自我效能量表中的各项差异。参与干预的青少年在几乎所有避孕套和避孕自我效能项目中报告的水平都更高。例外的是,在干预后 3 个月(p = 0.227)和 9 个月(p = 0.074)时,与伴侣协商避孕套自我效能相关的项目。研究结果表明,RCL 能有效提高整体避孕套和避孕自我效能,但对避孕套或避孕自我效能的伴侣协商特定组成部分没有影响。这一调查为进一步探索与伴侣协商相关的 RCL 组成部分提供了依据。
