Results from a randomized, controlled trial with youth in treatment for substance use demonstrated that this Web-based tool, when provided as an adjunct to an educator-delivered prevention intervention, increased accurate prevention knowledge, increased intentions to carefully choose partners, and was perceived as significantly more useful relative to the educator-delivered intervention when provided alone. Results suggest this Web-based program may be effective and engaging and may increase the adoption of effective HIV and disease prevention science for youth. Limitations are discussed.}, keywords = {Adolescent, Adolescent Behavior, Analysis of Variance, Child, Computers, Condoms, Counseling, Curriculum, Female, Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice, HIV Infections, Humans, Internet, Male, New York City, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Substance Abuse Treatment Centers, Substance-Related Disorders, User-Computer Interface}, issn = {1532-2491}, doi = {10.1007/s11606-010-1323-z}, author = {Marsch, Lisa A and Grabinski, Michael J and Bickel, Warren K and Desrosiers, Alethea and Guarino, Honoria and Muehlbach, Britta and Solhkhah, Ramon and Taufique, Shilpa and Acosta, Michelle} }
