Summary

Adolescents with mental health (MH) disorders (MHD) have higher rates of HIV/STI sexual risk behaviors than those in the general population. In Brazil, among youth seeking HIV testing, those testing positive had more MH problems than HIV-negative youth; HIV/STI sexual risk reduction is not regularly implemented within MH care for adolescents. Our NIMH-funded RCT in Rio de Janeiro (Rio; R01MH065163; PI: Wainberg) promises to provide such intervention for adults with MHD. A comparable evidence-based HIV/STI prevention intervention for adolescents is not available in Brazil; this application targets this need.

Using quantitative and qualitative methods we will explore the contextual influences on sexual risk behavior of Brazilian youth ages 13-24 with MHD to inform intervention adaptation. The investigators will then pilot-test the family-based (parent-adolescent dyad) intervention HIV, STI and pregnancy prevention intervention with a sample of male and female youth age 13-24 years (n=144) with MHD who are in MH treatment in four community-based sites in preparation for the RCT.
