Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Promotion
  • Digital Health Interventions

Background:

  • Sexual health disparities persist among Latina women.
  • Evidence-based interventions need adaptation for diverse populations.
  • Computer-delivered programs offer scalable solutions for sexual health education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and evaluate C-SAFE (Sexual Awareness for Everyone), a computer-delivered sexual health promotion program for Latinas.
  • To test the preliminary efficacy of C-SAFE in reducing sexual health risks.
  • To assess user satisfaction and learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of C-SAFE by adapting a group-level intervention into a computer-delivered format.
  • Randomized controlled trial with 321 Latinas in California and Florida.
  • Six-month follow-up to assess sexual behaviors, attitudes, and program satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in sexual behaviors or attitudes toward STIs/condoms between C-SAFE and control groups.
  • C-SAFE participants reported fewer poor mental health days (p = .02).
  • Higher satisfaction with information presentation and learning new content reported by C-SAFE users (p < .053).

Conclusions:

  • Computer-delivered sexual health programs can enhance user satisfaction and learning.
  • Adapting delivery modalities is crucial for effective implementation.
  • Further research is needed to optimize sexual health promotion for Latinas.
