AB OBJECTIVE. To describe a new strategy for producing standardized
interventions, translating results from quantitative and qualitative
research into educational videos. METHODS. Using behavior surveys as
diagnostic tools, and in-depth interviews and focus groups as an
assessment of needs of target populations, three educative videos have
been produced, based on different conceptual models of behavior change:
Social learning theory and Social influence model (between providers and
clients). Videos were targeted to homosexual men, teen-agers of both
genders and to bisexual men. RESULTS. Quantitative behavior surveys
indicated low risk perception in the three populations, however the
lowest was among teen agers; condom use prevalence was higher for
homosexual men, then for active bisexuals and much lower for teen agers.
As a result from qualitative methods, different strategies were followed
for each of the populations to write the scripts of each video. In all
the videos three lines were developed: 1) Didactic line, in which
information about safer sex, condom use and lower risk practices is
provided, in the case of the videos for homosexual and for bisexual men
this information was included in specific spots, and for teen agers
through a comic stand comedian routine; 2) Testimonies, with actors for
homosexual and for bisexual men and live video-recordings of teen agers
were shown, to give credibility to the video; and 3) fictitious story
where identification with the principal actors was sought because of
role modelling. The major source of influence of these videos comes from
the discussion after showing the video. Specific emphasis is given to
the training of the coordinators of these sessions in order to promote
ad hoc input. The discussion of the video for bisexual men was
especially designed to test the influence of different actors as
coordinators (a medical expert vs a peer leader). CONCLUSSIONS. The use
of these educational tools have proved to be successful, particularly
because they provide standardized interventions for specific
populations, via theory-based tailored interventions (videos and leading
discussions).
