“…The importance of examining such syndemic outcomes simultaneously is that they can interactively, negatively influence young people’s developmental trajectory, placing youth at greater risk for sustained patterns of health risk and related problems as they transition into adulthood ( Castelpietra et al, 2022 ; Fu et al, 2022 ; Safiri et al, 2022 ). Extant meta-analyses of patient: provider relational factors indicate promise (small to medium effects) in broad-based mental health outcomes among older populations (e.g., adults) ( Martin et al, 2000 ; Rouleau et al, 2020 ; Del Re et al, 2021 ; Rodriguez et al, 2021 ; Lauckner et al, 2022 ) and children/adolescents ( Murphy and Hutton, 2018 ; Roest et al, 2023 ), but the youth HIV/STI prevention intervention field remains largely absent from empirical studies that examine the role of youth: provider relational factors. The present study is one step toward filling this gap.…”

ObjectiveGiven the frequent co-occurrence between alcohol use and sexual behavior among adolescents, alcohol interventions may play a role in helping prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in this age group. Psychotherapy “common factors” are one potential active ingredient in intervention efficacy. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of a critical common factor, adolescent: provider connectedness, on STI risk reduction at 3 months post-intervention.MethodsCommunity-based youth (N = 168) were randomized to two 60-min individual sessions of either motivational interviewing (MI) or brief adolescent mindfulness (BAM). Logistic regressions predicted post-intervention positive STI from adolescent: provider connectedness, intervention condition, and their interaction. Path analytic models tested post-intervention hazardous drinking as a mediator of the association between adolescent: provider connectedness and reduction in STI risk at 3-month follow-up.ResultsStronger adolescent: provider connectedness reduced risk of STI at 3 months post-intervention, with no differences by treatment condition. A mediational relationship between adolescent: provider connectedness and STI risk via hazardous drinking was not observed.ConclusionPsychotherapeutic common factors, including adolescent: provider connectedness, may be important in mitigating adolescent health risk in behavioral interventions, above and beyond intervention condition and beyond the target behavior of the intervention.
