Safer Sex Intervention (SSI) is an individual intervention intended to reduce STIs and improve condom use among female adolescents and young adults at high-risk for contracting an STI. The program is delivered one-on-one through a 30- to 50-minute session with a health educator, with three 10- to 30-minute follow-up sessions over the following six months.
The program was designed for sexually active females ages 12 to 23 who have been diagnosed with an STI. It was evaluated with sexually active African American females who were 14 to 19 years old, and sought treatment for STIs at an adolescent health clinic.
The program is designed for and was tested in health clinics.
