Technology Enhanced Community Health Nursing (TECH-N) to Prevent Recurrent Sexually Transmitted Infections After Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Technology Enhanced Community Health Nursing for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Completed, enrolled 286 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators are enrolling 350 young women 13-25 years old diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in Baltimore and randomize them to receive community health nurse (CHN) clinical support using a single post-PID face-to-face clinical evaluation and short messaging system communication support during the 30. The investigators hypothesize that repackaging the recommended Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) follow-up visit using a technology-enhanced community health nursing intervention (TECH-N) with integration of an evidence-based sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention curriculum will reduce rates of short-term repeat infection by improving adherence to PID treatment and reducing unprotected intercourse and be more cost-effective compared with outpatient standard of care (and hospitalization).
