Summary

Young Latina women face significant barriers to sexual health and healthcare access, particularly in emerging Latino states like Alabama. The goals of the proposed study are to develop and examine the feasibility of an innovative, scalable mHealth, "safe space" intervention for Young Latina Women (YLW) in Alabama (AL) and to stimulate the conduct of behavioral research at the University of Alabama. This work is consistent with the National Institute of Nursing Research's goals of "Enhancing wellness by understanding the physical, behavioral, cultural and environmental influences on health status and developing culturally tailored interventions to prevent illness and promote health" and "Using innovative technologies to develop novel interventions that deliver personalized care and real-time health information to patients, families and healthcare providers".

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Promotoras Program

Participants will receive a unique participant code from the virtual promotoras (i.e., patient educators and navigators), to access the VIP mobile phone app intervention. This will give them access to the three main components of the VIP intervention: 1. Educational Modules (8 evidence-based educational modules made by the VPs), 2. Sexual and Reproductive Health Plan (SRHP): Quiz-style instrument to help the participant set goals for her sexual health and develop a set of questions to ask her provider. 3. Virtual Promotora's (VP) chat room.: Opportunity for participant to ask any questions that she may have about sexual health (SH) or sexual healthcare access (SHCA), refine her SRHP. The VP will also help her make her appointment for her clinical visit with one of the local free clinics which do not require insurance and are youth-friendly, and practice having the conversation that she wants to have with her clinical provider.
