• Description:
  Insights is an individually-tailored minimal self-help intervention that consists of two prevention packets mailed to participants three months apart. The information in the packets is tailored to the individual based on a baseline risk assessment. The first packe t includes a tailored 12-page self-help magazine-style booklet, called Insights, male and female condoms, a condom carrying case, and instructions on how to use condoms. The magazine-style booklet includes non-tailored and tailored elements. The tailored elements are pulled from a “library” of all possible prevention messages to coordinate with responses from the baseline risk assessment survey. The tailored messages are developed utilizing the stages of readiness to use condoms, beliefs and norms about condom use, intentions and efficacy to use condoms, perceived barriers/facilitators to use condoms, and perceived risk. Messages are also tailored based on the following participant characteristics: type of sex partner, ethnicity, binge drinking, STD history, number of sex partners, oral contraceptive use, and whether or not the participant had children. The booklet contains 11 sections – 4 generic sections and 7 sections with varying degrees of tailoring, including an advice column and testimonial stories. Three months later, the participants are mailed a follow-up tailored feedback newsletter, called Extra Insights. Extra Insights focuses on reinforcing messages, removing barriers, and enhancing facilitators to condom use and contains some information tailored to the 3-month telephone survey responses.
