The Internet as a Reliable Source of Sexual and Reproductive Health Information among Rural School-Aged Children in Oaxaca, Mexico

Background: Correct and culturally relevant sexual and reproductive health knowledge among children and adolescents is a key component to a healthy life. In Mexico, a country plagued with a teen pregnancy epidemic, sexuality education in the public-school system begins in 4th grade. Our study aims were to characterize the sexual and reproductive health knowledge of middle school students from Oaxaca, and its association with belonging to an indigenous group, gender, sources of sexual and reproductive health information, and parents2019; level of schooling. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Students responded to a multiple-choice paper and pencil selfadministered survey on sexual and reproductive health knowledge. Our sample included 245 middleschool students (51.4% were female) enrolled in rural school2019;s 7th, 8th, and 9th grade. Survey contents were based on the Ministry of Education textbooks

Effects of therapeutic assessment: a review and extension of the empirical literature

Research on the use of psychological assessment as a therapeutic intervention remains limited. Poston and Hanson (2010) performed a meta-analysis on the existing literature. Further analysis of the study reveals that the search criteria for the meta-analysis was problematically vague, allowing for studies to be included that did not truly assess therapeutic assessment or clinically significant outcomes. Additionally, the conclusions drawn by Poston and Hanson were only supported by a small number of included studies. A literature search for Therapeutic Assessment literature was conducted and supports the claim that further and more specific research is necessary in this realm

Recruitment of Caribbean female commercial sex workers at high risk of HIV infection

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate novel eligibility criteria and outreach methods to identify and recruit women at high risk of HIV-1 infection in the Caribbean. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted in 2009-2012 among 799 female commercial sex workers in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. Minimum eligibility criteria included exchange of sex for goods, services, or money in the previous 6 months and unprotected vaginal or anal sex with a man during the same period. Sites used local epidemiology to develop more stringent eligibility criteria and recruitment strategies. Participants were asked questions about HIV/AIDS and their level of concern about participating in an HIV vaccine trial. Logistic regression modeling was used to assess predictors of prevalent HIV infection and willingness to participate in a future HIV vaccine study. RESULTS: HIV prevalence at screening was 4.6%. Crack cocaine use [odds ratio (OR) = 4.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.8-9.0)] was associated with and having sex with clients in a hotel or motel [OR = 0.5, CI (0.3-1.0)] was inversely associated with HIV infection. A total of 88.9% of enrolled women were definitely or probably willing to participate in a future HIV vaccine trial. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicated that local eligibility criteria and recruitment methods can be developed to identify and recruit commercial sex workers with higher HIV prevalence than the general population who express willingness to join an HIV vaccine trial
