What this Trial Is About
This study proposes to pilot an online intervention to support father-teen health-promoting talk about sex and relationships using Social Cognitive Theory, and to evaluate this intervention's acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy, using an Intervention Mapping approach. This study involves conducting a pilot intervention with 50 pairs of fathers and their high-school aged teens. Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed through program data such as participants' pilot enrollment, lesson feedback, and program retention, survey data and member checks through debrief interviews (5 father, 5 teens). Preliminary assessment of directionality of change in participants' health-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations over the course of the pilot intervention (pre- and post-intervention surveys) to determine whether a full-scale R01 is warranted.
