Motivational Interviewing for Getting Healthy TodaY Study
United States26 participantsStarted 2019-06-01
Plain-language summary
The present study aims to test and rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-assisted motivational interviewing (CAMI) intervention that has already been shown to be successful with young women by reducing the risk of rapid subsequent birth among adolescent mothers, and applying this intervention to young men.
The purpose of the intervention is to increase condom use, increase female partner use of moderately or highly effective contraception, and increase completion of a reproductive health visit and STI/HIV testing.
The primary hypothesis is that the CAMI-TPP (CAMI aimed at Teen Pregnancy Prevention) intervention will increase the proportion of participants who do not engage in risky sex, report condom use at last intercourse as well as partner use of contraception compared to those in the Fitness group. It is also predicted that young men who receive the CAMI-TPP will report higher completion of a reproductive health service visit with sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing over the course of study participation compared to those in the CAMI-Fitness (CAMI aimed at healthy diet, physical activity and tobacco avoidance) group.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
