“…The findings indicated that video on a handheld device can be a central feature of an interactive multimedia computer-based intervention to reduce HIV risk behavior in urban women. This is particularly important since multimedia provides a stimulating environment appealing to sight and sound (Huang, 2003;Soto Mas, 2003). Because the nature of HIV risk reduction research requires a perceived sense of privacy, the findings of this study support the subjective sense of privacy offered by the handheld device.…”

“…Adolescence is quite complex, and the doctor–patient relationship can be a determining factor towards success of treatment, as well as parental influence, social standing, education, and others. However, we did not evaluate these aspects as they were beyond the scope of this study, and are extensively discussed elsewhere 2–4,8,23…”

“…Several studies in the literature have addressed the issue of patient compliance and strategies to obtain the best engagement of patients 2,3,5–9. In the last decades, there has been a large adoption of focus groups, motivational interviewing, and patient education, which nowadays are being further implemented through their use via social media, phone-apps, and content sharing (visuals, graphics, real-time texting) 3,5,8,10…”

Purpose: To determine whether the use of social media is useful in improving compliance and follow-up attendance among patients wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment. Patients and methods: Sixty post-orthodontic patients (aged 16–19 years), randomized in two groups: follow-up supported by participation in WhatsApp chat group (SG), and Control Group (CG). All patients were scheduled for quarterly check-ups for monitoring of orthodontic stability by measurement of intercanine width at the beginning of the study (t 0 ) and every 4 months t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) for 1 year of observation. Patients in the SG additionally participated in a WhatsApp chat group, where they would send, on a weekly basis, snapshots showing his/her occlusion. Every month, the orthodontist acting as the moderator awarded the best five snapshots by publishing a ranking in the chat. Results: Participants in the SG featured smaller changes from the intercanine widths at baseline (at debonding) compared to the CG patients at all times during 1 year of follow-up. Follow-up attendance was regular in both groups in the first 8 months of follow-up. After that, patient compliance decreased in the CG, with eight patients missing check-up appointments. Conclusion: Engaging adolescent patients directly through WhatsApp activity seems to increase regularity in wearing removable retainers, attendance to follow-up schedule, and yield better long-term outcome in terms of orthodontic stability and compliance.

“…Although results for sexual initiation were not statistically significant for high levels of exposure, we still found positive trends, and the lack of significance could be an anomaly of sample size within each category. Second, IYG-Tech incorporates many strategies (e.g., simulated skills practice, modeling, reinforcement and feedback; tailored messages by sexual experience and gender) necessary for the development of effective computer-based sexual health education programs [5, 29, 30]. Other computer-based sexual health education programs that increased risk reduction self-efficacy, increased abstinence, and/or reduced unprotected sex also included many of these strategies [7, 8, 14].…”

Purpose Few computer-based HIV, sexually transmitted infection (STI), and pregnancy prevention programs are available, and even fewer target early adolescents. In this study, we tested the efficacy of It’s Your Game (IYG)-Tech, a completely computer-based, middle school sexual health education program. The primary hypothesis was that students who received IYG-Tech would significantly delay sexual initiation by ninth grade. Methods We evaluated IYG-Tech using a randomized, two-arm nested design among 19 schools in a large, urban school district in southeast Texas (20 schools were originally randomized). The target population was English-speaking eighth-grade students who were followed into the ninth grade. The final analytic sample included 1,374 students. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to test for differences in sexual initiation between intervention and control students, while adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, time between measures, and family structure. Results There was no significant difference in the delay of sexual activity or in any other sexual behavior between intervention and control students. However, there were significant positive between-group differences for psychosocial variables related to STI and condom knowledge, attitudes about abstinence, condom use self-efficacy, and perceived norms about sex. Post-hoc analyses conducted among intervention students revealed some significant associations: “full exposure” (completion of all 13 lessons) and “mid-exposure” (5–8 lessons) students were less likely than “low exposure” (1–4 lessons) students to initiate sex. Conclusions Collectively, our findings indicate that IYG-Tech impacts some determinants of sexual behavior, and that additional efficacy evaluation with full intervention exposure may be warranted.
