Overview

Brief Summary

This study will implement and test a brief, tailored individual-level intervention to be used in two New Orleans adolescent clinics with female patients aged 16-24 who douche.

Detailed Description

The study implements a client-centered behavioral intervention (CCBI) based on Prochaska's Transtheoretical Model of Change (TMC) and the intervention will use Miller's Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. This intervention will be evaluated using (1) an audio/computer-assisted self-administered interview (ACASI) survey to assess changes in respondents' douching knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and (2) biological testing for Bacterial Vaginosis.
