| 요약 | The purpose of this experimental study was to explore the effects of monetary incentives on the engagement with sexually transmitted infection education and prevention materials in 18- to 24-year-old females enrolled in a large Southeastern university. The Centers for Disease Control (2018) has recently reported a growing number of diagnosed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States despite $16 billion being spent on STI prevention and education yearly. Over half of all newly diagnosed cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are in persons age 15-24 years. Screening and education programs exist, but the increasing number of STIs does not reflect their impact.This experimental study analyzed data from convenience sample of 156 undergraduate females randomly assigned to either a paid or unpaid group. A total of 107 participants completed the study, which consisted of a pretest, six weekly STI education messages delivered via text message, and a posttest six weeks after baseline data was gathered. Paid participants received a total of $50, paid in two increments, during the course of the study. It was conducted during the Fall semester in 2018 and examined four research questions, including, (1) "Is the use of monetary incentives in STI education and prevention a viable method to increase the effectiveness of education provided to adolescents and young adult females college students", (2) "Will there be a change over time in reported healthy sexual behaviors and intent to be tested for STIs among students who participate in the ISHK program", (3) "Will there be a difference in sexual attitudes, STI knowledge, reported STI testing rates among participants in the experimental group versus the control group after completion of the ISHK program", and (4) "What are reported motivators and deterrents to accessing STI education and prevention services". The study was conducted utilizing the Hendrick Sexual Attitude Scale, in conjunction with the National Sexual Health Survey and Youth Risk Behavior Survey.Results revealed significantly more engagement with education in the paid group than the unpaid group. There were mixed results in sexual behavior and attitude changes between and within each of the study groups. Numerous barriers to education were identified by participants and are further explored within the study. Additional research is warranted concerning the full effect of monetary incentive on changing sexual attitudes and behaviors in young adult females. |
