Using a Computer Model to Design AIDS, STD and Pregnancy Prevention Programs

Abstract:
[ARCHIVE] This innovative curriculum uses the principles of Rational Emotive Therapy to help students understand "what people are thinking" when they do dangerous or risky things. The goal is to effectively change one's thinking in order to influence or change one's behavior. This approach stresses awareness and examination of one's thoughts, thinking/coping strategies to counter one's potentially harmful thoughts in a risky situation, assertiveness how-tos, skill development and role playing, information on thinking/communicating about dating issues, HIV, birth control, reproduction, drug resistance, violence prevention, and sexual harassment.
