Background and Brief Description
CDC is planning to interview Hispanic adolescents and their parents
at two high schools in Miami-Dade County to facilitate the development
of targeted and culturally-appropriate HIV prevention materials for
Hispanic youth in Miami-Dade County. The purpose of the proposed study
is to assess the efficacy of Streamlined Familias Unidas, a 5-session
version of a longer efficacious, parent-centered prevention
intervention developed specifically for Hispanic families. 240 Hispanic
adolescents and their primary caregivers (480 total participants) from
two Miami-Dade County public high schools will be recruited and
randomized into two groups: (1) The streamlined 5-session Familias
Unidas intervention group, and (2) a group that receives routine
information about HIV from the high schools. Four times over 2 years,
both groups will respond to computerized questionnaires that explore
family function, sexual behaviors, etc. These assessment questionnaires
will be computer-based (ACASI). The assessments are for the purpose of
developing and improving HIV prevention materials and interventions
that are culturally appropriate to the Hispanic population in Miami-
Dade County. Family functioning, substance use, sexual behaviors,
behavior problems, and community values will inform HIV intervention
programs in this community.
This study will address some of the goals of CDC's ``CDC HIV
Prevention Strategic Plan: Extended Through 2010''. CDC plans to meet
specific goals by increasing the number of behavior prevention
interventions proven effective for Hispanic adolescents, and,
increasing the number of Hispanic adolescents who consistently engage
in behaviors that reduce risk for acquiring HIV. Additionally, the
study data will provide important information that will aid in
developing and improving HIV prevention interventions for Hispanic
adolescents and their families.
Questionnaires will take from approximately 45 min. (caregivers) to
60 minutes (adolescents) to complete.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
