African-and Mexican-American adolescent women with a current STI and history of abuse will be identified at public health and STI clinics within the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District system. Women who agree to participate and give informed consent will be randomized into the intervention or control arm. Women in the control arm will be interviewed at baseline, be given a targeted physical exam including a STI/HIV screen, pap smear and contraception counseling and will receive abuse and enhanced clinical counseling. Women in the intervention arm will be interviewed at baseline, given a targeted physical exam including a STI/HIV screen, pap smear and contraception counseling and enrolled in the intervention. Women in the intervention arm will be interviewed and examined again after completing the intervention, to establish a post-intervention baseline. All women in the study will be followed over one year, with follow-up interviews including an inquiry about any Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and a targeted physical exams and contraception counseling at 6 and 12 months. During the study period, women will be encouraged to return to the study clinic for problem visits if they suspect they have been infected with a STI or require contraception or abuse counseling. All analyses of intervention effects will be performed on an intent-to-treat basis.
