Choices-Teen Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

A three session intervention with two counseling sessions with a master's level therapist and a counseling session with a physician. The counseling with the master's level therapist utilizes a motivational interviewing approach to encourage changes in alcohol use, contraceptive use, smoking and HIV risk behaviors. This part of the intervention (a) provides norms-based-but personalized-feedback; (b) encourages participating in the smoking cessation program; (c) increases motivation to change each of the target behaviors; (d) decreases temptation to engage in risk behaviors; (e) increases confidence to avoid risk behaviors; and (f) develops a personalized, tailored change plan. The physician session provides individualized contraception and HIV risk reduction counseling.
