Process evaluation of intervention program for prevention of early sexual activity and alcohol use among Hispanic teenagers

Hispanic teens are a high-risk population for initiation of early sexual activity and alcohol use which in turn has numerous social and health consequences. One strategy to address prevention of these behaviors is to implement a capacity building intervention that promotes parent child communication, encompasses their cultural values and community participation. This study describes the process evaluation of a pilot intervention program amongst Hispanic teens and their families living along the Texas-Mexico border. “Girls Lets Talk” is a small group intervention with 10-14 year old teens and their female adult family members that involves education regarding effects of alcohol use and sexual activity as well as activities for monitoring and refusal skills to prevent risky behaviors. Two waves of the program each consisting of at least seven mother daughter dyads were conducted. During the designing process, community advisory board meetings and focus groups were held to review course materials and ensure they were appropriate to the Mexican American culture. Parent and adolescent surveys were administered at the beginning and end of the intervention to assess for psychosocial outcome variables. All sessions received high mean satisfactory scores (mean of 4.00 or better on a five point scale) for both adult and adolescent participants. Qualitative feedback was obtained via debriefing sessions to evaluate experience as well as alter recruitment strategies. A Wilcoxon Sign Rank analysis of the pre and post intervention surveys was done that showed significant changes in some outcome variables such as intentions and confidence for monitoring behaviors for adults and beliefs regarding sexual activity. “Girls Lets Talk” is a promising example of how a process evaluation plan can help develop a theory based health promotion program using the community based participatory research approach. The intervention may also be effective in altering intentions and enhancing self-efficacy among parents and teens in order to decrease risky behaviors such as early sexual activity and alcohol use.^

Algunas impresiones para el próximo milenio

Con un intervalo de algunos días he tenido la ocasión de participar en la reunión de dos comités de carácter —un tanto— diferente. Uno era el técnico de la Conferencia de Comunicaciones Ópticas que tendrá lugar en Suiza el próximo mes de septiembre. El otro era uno de los habituales del Esprit Advisory Board en el que, entre otras cosas, se informó de cuál había sido el resultado de la evaluación de los proyectos presentados. Aunque el fin de ambas reuniones era, en contenido y objetivos, diferente, tenían algo en común: estaban relacionados con el mismo entorno tecnológico. Y, lo que para mí es más importante, de las dos extraje la misma consecuencia: el inicio de una vuelta a la realidad, tras el espejismo que supuso en los últimos años la idealización de las "nuevas tecnologías", y el inicio de un nuevo planteamiento basado en ellas
