尽管青少年感染性传播疾病的风险不成比例，但大多数性教育项目对性行为几乎没有影响。我们的团队开发的互动视频干预已被确定为少数几个已记录的减少这一人群性传播感染的项目之一。在行为决策研究的基础上，我们使用心理模型的方法来采访年轻女性关于她们的性决定，发现，除其他外，感知的社会规范的强大作用。我们根据这些结果进行干预，旨在帮助年轻女性识别和实施个人和社会可接受的决策策略。一项随机对照试验发现，视频减少了危险的性行为和衣原体感染的获得。我们最近修改了视频，以适应更多样化的观众，并将其升级到现代的电影摄影和互动标准。目前正在进行现场试验。
Although adolescents are at disproportionate risk for sexually transmitted infections, most sex education programs have shown little effect on sexual behavior. An interactive video intervention developed by our team has been identified as one of a few programs that have been documented to reduce sexually transmitted infections in this population. Building on behavioral decision research, we used a mental models approach to interview young women about their sexual decisions, finding, among other things, the strong role of perceived social norms. We based our intervention on these results, aiming to help young women identify and implement personally and socially acceptable decision strategies. A randomized controlled trial found that the video reduced risky sexual behavior and the acquisition of chlamydia infection. We recently revised the video to suit more diverse audiences, and upgraded it to modern standards of cinematography and interactivity. It is now in field trial.
