Although research supports using brief or extended behavioral interventions to increase prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), there is a shortage of current information about the specific effects on women in a short-stay carceral environment. This evidence-based practice implementation project aimed to employ the Safer Sex Efficacy (SSE) Workshop in a jail setting. A repeated measures design was used to compare STI knowledge acquisition and reports of condom use self-efficacy in a group of incarcerated women before, immediately after, and 3 weeks after participation in a high-intensity behavioral counseling intervention. Twenty-one females between the ages of 20 and 45 years participated in the program. STI knowledge acquisition and reports of condom use self-efficacy were measured using the Sexually Transmitted Disease Knowledge Questionnaire and the Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale. Findings support the feasibility of implementing evidence-based sexual health education programming incorporating information about sexual risk behaviors, STI knowledge, and behavioral skills practice in a short-stay correctional setting and further investigation with a larger sample.

对参与刑事法律系统的妇女实施高强度、创伤知情的性风险降低措施。

尽管研究支持使用短期或长期行为干预来加强对性传播感染 (STI) 的预防，但目前缺乏关于短期监禁环境中对女性的具体影响的信息。这个循证实践实施项目旨在在监狱环境中开展安全性行为（SSE）研讨会。采用重复测量设计来比较一组被监禁妇女在参加高强度行为咨询干预之前、之后立即和之后 3 周的性传播感染知识获取和安全套使用自我效能报告。21 名年龄在 20 岁至 45 岁之间的女性参加了该计划。使用性传播疾病知识问卷和安全套使用自我效能量表来衡量性传播感染知识的获取和安全套使用自我效能的报告。研究结果支持在短期惩教环境中实施循证性健康教育计划的可行性，其中纳入有关性危险行为、性传播感染知识和行为技能实践的信息，并进行更大样本的进一步调查。
