DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop and evaluate a theoretically-based interactive multi-media program for use by parents and their adolescent children (10-14 years of age) to prevent adolescent pregnancy. The program will have behaviorally focused communication skills training and educational content that is both tailored and targeted to the user. It will be tailored by parental values regarding adolescent sexual behavior (i.e., (a) delay sexual involvement (DSI) and provide the child with education about contraceptives and sexually transmitted infections (STI), (b) DSI with no contraceptive/STI education, or (c) abstinence with no contraceptive/STI education). In addition, program content will be targeted by (a) parental race/ethnicity (i.e., African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic), (c) parental gender, and (d) gender of the child. When complete, this comprehensive program will include a component for use by the parent, and another for use by the parent and child together. The program will be designed to effectively address the knowledge deficits of both parents and their children, and provide training and modeling in effective communication between the parent and child that are consistent with the parent's values regarding adolescent sexual behavior. The program will be developed in CD-ROM, Internet/intranet, DVD and VHS videotape formats. It will be appropriate for use in a broad range of settings (e.g., homes, worksites, health and community organizations). The Phase I prototype will target African American mothers of daughters (the subgroup at highest risk for adolescent unintended pregnancy) who value DSI, but want contraceptive/STI education. It will be evaluated in a randomized trial at 2 urban community centers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目将开发和评估一个基于理论的交互式多媒体程序，供父母及其青春期子女（10-14岁）使用，以防止青少年怀孕。该项目将提供以行为为重点的沟通技巧培训和教育内容，这些内容都是针对用户量身定制的。它将根据父母对青少年性行为的价值观(即，(a)延迟性行为（DSI）并向儿童提供有关避孕和性传播感染（STI）的教育，（b)不进行避孕/性传播感染教育的DSI，或(c)不进行避孕/性传播感染教育的禁欲）进行调整。此外，节目内容将根据(a)父母的种族/民族（即非洲裔美国人、高加索人和西班牙裔）、(c)父母的性别和(d)孩子的性别进行定位。完成后，这个综合程序将包括一个供父程序使用的组件，以及另一个供父程序和子程序共同使用的组件。该项目旨在有效地解决父母及其子女的知识缺陷，并提供培训和示范，使父母与子女之间的有效沟通符合父母对青少年性行为的价值观。该计划将以CD-ROM、Internet/intranet、DVD和VHS录像带格式开发。它将适合在广泛的环境中使用（例如，家庭、工作场所、卫生和社区组织）。第一阶段的原型将针对有女儿的非裔美国母亲（青少年意外怀孕风险最高的亚群体），她们重视DSI，但希望接受避孕/性传播感染教育。它将在两个城市社区中心的随机试验中进行评估。
