CityMatCH and National Association of County and City Health Officials . 2008. Internet-based HIV/STI prevention interventions for adolescents. Omaha, NE: CityMatCH; Washington, DC: National Association of City and County Health Officials, (Emerging issues in maternal and child health)

Annotation: This Webcast hosts Powerpoint and audio files from three presentations. The first examines adolescent and youth sexual activity; what types of technology youth and adolescents use, how, and why; how technology is and can be used for STD/HIV prevention. The second examines the validity of four popular public health mindsets: youth will prioritize the sites public health organizations create for them, offline strategies for STD/HIV prevention will work online, youths' risk for HIV/STD is based on their individual characteristics, and "the problem is the lack of the solution that we already have in mind." The third describes various online STD/HIV prevention programs and explores their use. Online use and techniques and their use in a clinic setting are also discussed. A question and answer session follows. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
