Teen Health Survey

Submitted by administrator -
Abbreviation
THS
Description
The Teen Health Survey (THS) assesses participants’ levels of HIV risk reduction information, motivation, behavioral skills, and HIV-risk and HIV-preventive behavior (Misovich et al., 1998). The THS was developed by researchers at the Center for Health Information/HIV Intervention and Prevention and has been psychometrically validated and used widely in HIV risk reduction research. Its use in this study will provide a screening/baseline measure of both cognitions and behavior related to safe sexual practice. Information gained from the THS will increase the efficacy of teaching and practicing skills for safe sexual practices which takes place during CBT (HIV module). It is a self-administered questionnaire which takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
