简要总结
The purpose of this study is to expand the reach of an existing cervical cancer literacy and prevention intervention- the Sexual Health Empowerment (SHE) Project . As a logical extension of the investigators earlier work, the objective of this renewal is to expand reach of SHE to address women's health disparities more broadly to create a sustainable model for dissemination of health promotion interventions for vulnerable populations.
详细描述
Over the last 35 years, there has been a 700% increase in the number of women in prisons and jails. These women, mostly women of color, have pervasive trauma histories, mental health problems, and drug use, all of which compromise their ability to engage in preventive health behaviors. For the last eight years, the research team has studied women leaving jail and why they are 4-5 times more likely to develop cervical cancer, a disparity that has remained unchanged for over 50 years. The original objective of the Sexual Health Empowerment (SHE) for Cervical Health Literacy and Prevention program (R01 CA181047) was to assess the effectiveness of a jail-based intervention to increase cervical health literacy and screening. SHE increased jailed women's cervical health literacy and rates of cancer screening after the women left jail.
While delivering SHE, researchers observed: 1) the cross-cutting nature of women's health risk factors, i.e. the risks that jailed women faced for cervical cancer also could lead to other women's health problems; and 2) opportunity for taking an evidence-based intervention, with a rich theoretical framing, to expand to other women's health issues faced by this group, around, not only cervical cancer prevention, but also breast cancer, unintended pregnancy, and STI prevention. While following women after release from jail (85% follow-up rate after 3 years), investigators also identified strategies for reaching this high-risk population through electronic communication. SHE participants were high users of mobile phones (88%), text (76%), Web (79%), and Facebook (70%). This renewal application presents an opportunity to holistically address health disparities experienced by women leaving jail and test new modalities for intervention delivery given use of electronic communication and social media.
The first aim uses an RCT to test the effectiveness of SHE-Women with women leaving jail on increasing women's health literacy, screening, and risk reduction practices (for cervical, breast cancer, unintended pregnancy, and STIs) against a standard of care. The second aim will be to understand the role and impact of human interaction in electronic interventions by tracking participants and interviewing key stakeholders.
Knowledge gained from this study will lead to an understanding of: 1) how a comprehensive women's health literacy intervention can narrow health disparities among justice-involved women and 2) the role of human interaction in successful electronic interventions, thereby creating a sustainable model for dissemination of health promotion interventions.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
- 15 minute discharge planning session with health educator
- Health education booklet containing SHE-Women intervention content in print form(N~100)
- access to health educator via text message
Intervention
Deliver text-Web intervention to (N ~100) women
Researchers will deliver the integrated, multimedia electronic women's health literacy intervention arm of SHEWomen in text-Web format for individuals recently released from jail. Two health educators will be responsible for delivering content to participants, with an estimated contact time of ~10 hours pushed to participants over approximately a 5-day period.

结局指标
主要结局
Cervical Cancer Literacy
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment
Cervical Cancer Literacy Assessment Tool (C-CLAT) (PMID: 19299678) Adopted 16-items C-CLAT, the sum of scores on all 16 items reflects participants cervical cancer literacy with a possible total score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 16 (maximum). A higher score represents a higher level of cervical cancer literacy (i.e., better outcome).
Breast Cancer Literacy
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment
Breast Cancer Literacy Assessment Tool (B-CLAT) (PMID:23905580) Revised 22-items from B-CLAT (with an added item ask "At what age are most women supposed to start having mammograms?") The sum of scores on all 22 items reflects participants breast cancer literacy with a possible total score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 22 (maximum). A higher score represents a higher level of cervical cancer literacy (i.e., better outcome). ...items from revised Breast Cancer Literacy Assessment Tool (B-CLAT) (PMID:23905580) disagree or agree options: higher mean score = higher perception of risk
Knowledge of Contraception
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment
-Contraceptive knowledge assessment (PMID:27621043) Adopted 8-items Contraceptive knowledge assessment, the sum of scores on all 8 items reflects participants cervical cancer literacy with a possible total score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 8 (maximum). A higher score represents a higher level of knowledge of contraception.
Beliefs About Acquisition and Use of Contraception
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment.
-Beliefs about acquisition and use of contraceptive items from self-efficacy scale (PMID:18926726) Each item was on 5-point Likert scale range from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) A mean score of 10 items represent participants' beliefs of contraceptive barriers, ranges from 1 (minimum) to 5 (maximum). A higher score represents a higher level of perceived barriers (i.e., worse outcome).
Confidence in Use of Contraception
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment.
-Beliefs about acquisition and use of contraceptive items from self-efficacy scale (PMID:18926726) Each item was on 5-point Likert scale range from 1 (Very confident) to 5 (Not at all confident). A mean score of reverse-coded 6 items represent participants' beliefs of contraceptive self-efficacy, ranges from 1 (minimum) to 5 (maximum). A higher score represents a higher level of contraceptive self-efficacy (i.e., better outcome).
Knowledge of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment.
-STD knowledge questionnaire (PMID: 17016760) Adopted 8-items STD knowledge questionnaire , the sum of scores on all 8 items reflects participants STD knowledge level with a possible total score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 8 (maximum). A higher score represents a higher level of knowledge of STD.
Confidence Using Condoms
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment.
-Condom self-efficacy scale (PMID: 1783705) A mean score of 15 items were calculated with a possible range of 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum). Higher scores represent a higher level of condom self-efficacy.
Attitudes Related to Condom Use
时间窗: Pre-Intervention assessment measured at baseline, Immediately post behavioral intervention assessment measured at 5 days after baseline, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month follow-up assessments are measured accordingly after the baseline assessment.
