An RCT to Evaluate the Effectiveness of HIV Post-test Behavioral Intervention Videos for Teens
The design of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to test the effectiveness of a
post-test behavioral video in educating adolescents about HIV transmission and affecting
their intentions to engage in risk-reduction behavior.
post-test behavioral video in educating adolescents about HIV transmission and affecting
their intentions to engage in risk-reduction behavior.
Adolescents are at risk for HIV because of their engagement in high risk sexual activity.
This study seeks to determine effective ways to educate teens about HIV and how to protect
themselves by use of multimedia. All eligible participants who agree to enroll in this
trial will be randomized into two arms: the behavioral intervention video (intervention
group) or meeting with an in-person counselor (control group) as they wait for their rapid
HIV results. The goals of the RCT involve establishing the feasibility of using touch-screen
technology for teenagers in the ED; establishing the receptivity of teens to HIV rapid
testing in the ED; providing data on rates, and obtaining preliminary data on the
effectiveness of the video in changing condom efficacy, condom outcome expectancies and
condom use intention. Consenting to rapid HIV testing is a secondary outcome.
