Abstract
Study Objective
To assess the effects of the Seventeen Days interactive video on young women's perceived
self-efficacy for using condoms 6 months after being offered the intervention, relative
to a control.
Design
Multisite randomized controlled trial.
Setting
Twenty participating health clinics and county health departments in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and West Virginia.
Participants
Sexually active female adolescents ages 14 to 19 years.
Interventions
Seventeen Days (treatment intervention; sex education) vs Driving Skills for Life
(control intervention; driving education).
Main Outcome Measures
Perceived self-efficacy for condom use.
Results
Participants in the Seventeen Days group reported higher perceived condom acquisition
self-efficacy after 6 months than those in the driving group. This finding held after
controlling for baseline self-efficacy scores and other covariates.
Conclusion
The Seventeen Days program shows promise to improve perceived self-efficacy to acquire
condoms among sexually active female adolescents—an important precursor to behavior
change.
