Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of two types of counseling (Computer-Assisted Motivational Intervention \[CAMI\] versus Didactic Educational Counseling \[DEC\]) to see which can better reduce female adolescents' risk taking behaviors that put them at risk for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The intervention phase consists of three 30-minute counseling sessions over the first 6 months followed by a visit every three months during the 12 month follow up phase. We, the researchers, hypothesize that the CAMI will decrease the proportion of subjects who engage in any intercourse that is poorly protected against pregnancy and against STDs.
