Filter by:The goal of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to assess an innovative adolescent pregnancy prevention program among youth that are at the highest risk of adolescent pregnancy, to prevent pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS in the greater Miami area in Florida. The primary research question it aims to answer is: (RQ1a): What is the effect of adding 4.5 hours of Mind Matters trauma-coping skills curriculum to the Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum, on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the students receiving only the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum? (RQ1b): What is the effect of the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the control group receiving only financial literacy? Participants will complete program lessons and complete surveys for data collection. The RCT will assess behavioral health outcomes and other psychological outcomes at four-time points (baseline, post-program, 3 months, and 12 months)
Children's Hospital Los Angeles and ETR will implement and test the effectiveness of a pregnancy prevention intervention, My Future Self, targeting youth ages 16-19 in Los Angeles and San Diego Counties who, for a variety of reasons, are receiving education or training in non-traditional settings. These youth typically experience a combination of needs related to unstable or no housing, extreme poverty, involvement with child welfare or juvenile justice, historical trauma, and/or learning differences. My Future Self is a 5 week program consisting of 5 group sessions. Our study will enroll up to 704 highly mobile youth from various sites in Los Angeles and San Diego. Youth will be randomized to receive the My Future Self intervention in conjunction with their regular services or just their regular services. All youth enrolled will complete baseline, 6 month and 12 month surveys.
The INclued program was implemented in 16 states across the US. The purpose of this study is to measure: Nine months after the end of the program and one year after the workshop, are IN•clued participants less likely to report engaging in risky sexual behavior in the past three months compared to control group participants?
To test a new curriculum - the ACE-Plus curriculum - a two-session program that teaches males in foster care and/or preventive services about correct and consistent condom use as well as engagement with female partners to obtain and use contraception.
This study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to evaluate the impacts of the Future Foundation (FF) 2.0 Personal Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS) program on reducing students' sexual activity (vaginal), recent risking sexual activity without condom use, and unprotected sex (no condoms/contraceptives). FF will implement the 2.0 PREIS Program with three cohorts of African-American youth in the 6th to 8th grades. FF aims to recruit and enroll 400 students who are new to the program for Cohort 1, 150 new students for Cohort 2, and another 150 new students for Cohort 3. These cohorts of eligible students will come from grades 6-8 in Woodland and McNair middle schools and projected to attend Banneker high school. Random assignment will be an ongoing process throughout the project enrollment periods. By the end of the recruitment processes, a total of 700 students will be randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group, resulting in 350 students in each condition. Each year, the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention model will offer year-round grant-funded services, including after-school, summer programming, and parent engagement activities. The 350 youth randomly assigned to the treatment group will be offered the FF 2.0 PREIS program (Cohort 1 will target 200 treatment youth from January 2018 through June 2018; Cohort 2 will target 75 treatment youth from August 2018 through May 2019; and Cohort 3 will serve 75 treatment youth from August 2019 through May 2020.), while the 350 students assigned to the control group may receive after school and/or summer programming from another community-based organization. The primary hypotheses for the RCT study are the following: significantly fewer numbers of students in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention engage in vaginal sex than their control group peers do by the time of the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up; significantly fewer numbers of students in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention engage in recent unprotected sex significantly than the control group students do at the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up; and significantly greater numbers of participants in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention remain abstinent or report condom use during recent vaginal sexual activity than the control group students do at the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up.
The study is a an evaluation of the teen pregnancy prevention curriculum Decisions, Responsibility, Empowerment, Accountability, Motivations & Success (DREAMS) through a random control trial. The evaluation will take place in high schools in the greater Houston area. Five cohorts of two classes each in ten HS schools will be used. Randomization will occur each semester for five semesters. Curriculum is ten modules in length delivered in 45 minute classes twice a week for five weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact Pono Choices has among youth for teen pregnancy and STI prevention measures such as: initiation of sexual activity; engagement in high risk sexual behaviors; knowledge of pregnancy and STI prevention; attitudes toward healthy sexual behaviors; skills in managing relationships and choices; and intentions about future sexual activity.
This study is evaluating the effectiveness of three evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention (TPP) programs in reducing sexual risk-taking behaviors of youth. The study is using an experimental design in which youth are randomly assigned to receive either TPP programming or services as usual.
This trial evaluated the impact of N2K, a three-year quasi-experimental study to delay sexual initiation and increase condom and contraception use among high school students. The program was administered to treatment students beginning in the fall of 2012 (9th grade) and continued through the spring of 2015 (11th grade). The purpose of this study was to measure: 1) the impact of N2K on sexual initiation at the end of the three-year program and 2) the impact of N2K on condom or contraception non-use at the end of the program.
Evaluating the efficacy of a video about FAS to determine whether it has an impact on knowledge about FAS and their likelihood to participate in risk taking behavior.
