This study explored factors that contributed to re-infection with gonorrhea (GC) or chlamydia (CT) among low income, inner-city adolescent girls in Jacksonville, Florida. In-depth qualitative interviews or narratives of 12 girls were taped, transcribed, and analyzed. Narratives are stories related from the perspective of an individual's lived experiences. These stories allowed the girls to express their feelings about themselves, their relationships, and specific events in their lives that contributed to having repeated sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

520 $a This study explored factors that contributed to re-infection with gonorrhea (GC) or chlamydia (CT) among low income, inner-city adolescent girls in Jacksonville, Florida. In-depth qualitative interviews or narratives of 12 girls were taped, transcribed, and analyzed. Narratives are stories related from the perspective of an individual's lived experiences. These stories allowed the girls to express their feelings about themselves, their relationships, and specific events in their lives that contributed to having repeated sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
520 $a An analysis of the narratives identified recurring themes across interviews; and then narrative analysis identified recurrent themes in individual interviews. Stories were compared to find commonalities and differences, and to identify patterns in story plots. No one profile described a typical girl who was an STI repeater. Girls interviewed ranged from high-school dropouts who were teen parents, to those who were high-school honor students on birth control. The analysis of these narratives revealed four general themes. First, many girls experienced either inadequate or abusive parenting. Second, in spite of many extenuating life circumstances, the desire and need to form meaningful relationships with a male partner was central and took precedence over other issues. The girls knew about STIs and "safe sex" and had access to condoms, but the need for a need to trust someone, even after repeated STIs indicated betrayals, often won out over the need for safety. Third, many girls wanted to be pregnant or were already mothers. Desire for pregnancy competed with condom use, and contributed to risky behaviors. Fourth, in spite of past or current circumstances, these girls were survivors. They showed enormous resiliency and were very optimistic about their futures. These findings suggest that interventions designed to prevent further STIs must address life issues more far-reaching than having an STI before girls can hear preventive messages.
