  Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, Project Protect builds on previous research in the area of female-initiated HIV/STI prevention methods to focus on individual and contextual factors that affect female condom use.According to project ethnographer Corbett, awareness of the female condom continues to be limited not only among consumers, but among health care providers and health educators as well, even though it has been on the market in the U.S. since 1993.

  "The youth pick an issue that is important to them, and then learn the skills for discovering and understanding underlying causes," says Michelle Corbett, a Prevention Research Educator at ICR."The SYRI helps teens discover their own voice, and realize they can make a difference in their communities."
  
  The SYRI is designed as a youth-led empowerment, educational and leadership-building program.It teaches youth to think about their community and the ways in which they can play a part in creating positive change.Because the youth pick the topic, design the research process, gather data, and analyze results, they have greater sense of ownership and understanding about the issue.

  Michelle Corbett, Ethnographic Interviewer at The Institute for Community Research, will present initial research findings from a study examining factors that either facilitate or serve as barriers to female condom use among Hartford-area women at high-risk for HIV. She will be speaking on Tuesday, May 13 at noon at the Living Center, 1841 Broad Street. The event is free; lunch will be provided and advance registration is required.
  
  By attending the Hartford event, interested members of the public and health care providers will learn about the Female Condom Use Pilot Study being conducted by The Institute for Community Research in Hartford and the CT AIDS Education & Training Center at the Yale School of Nursing in New Haven. An overview of the female condom, which has been marketed in the U.S. since 1993, will also be provided.
  
  "With increasing numbers of women becoming infected with HIV and other STD's, it is important that women have access to several effective and acceptable methods of protection," said Corbett. "For a variety of social, economic, and personal reasons, the male latex condom is not a viable option for many women."
  
  According to Corbett, the female condom has been shown to be acceptable to a wide range of people, however, it is often overlooked as an HIV prevention method and its use is generally low. "My talk will address some of the reasons we're finding female condom use to be low," noted Corbett.
