This paper will provide an integrative summary of the results of the Project CHOICES feasibility study intervention and the epidemiological survey. Ongoing research using the feasibility study data will be previewed. Based on the results of the feasibility study, proposed changes to the design and procedures for follow-up studies will be reviewed. We will discuss the design and plans for a randomized controlled clinical trial called the Project CHOICES Efficacy Study, and extensions of the trial to other populations of women at risk including Hispanic and Native American women. Lastly, a panel of Project CHOICES investigators will discuss lessons learned about this exciting prevention intervention and field questions from the audience.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this paper, participants will be able to identify areas for scientific development and highlight 2 new studies addressing this critical prevention need.
