Carnegie Mellon interactive-video DVD helps teens avoid sexually transmitted diseases

not seen the DVD.

Downs said girls can watch the DVD while they are sitting in a doctor's waiting room--on average, teenagers wait 40 minutes to receive medical care, she said.

"We now have this DVD that can be incorporated into clinical care very easily. This is a way of getting information to patients very cheaply," Downs said. Clips of the DVD can be viewed at www.WhatCouldYouDo.org.

Down's co-authors include Baruch Fischhoff, the Howard Heinz University Professor of Social and Decision Sciences and of Engineering and Public Policy; Wndi Bruine De Bruin, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences; and Claire Palmgren, a graduate student in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy. Other collaborators were Pamela Murray, director of adolescent medicine at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and Joyce Penrose, professor of nursing at Slippery Rock University.
