Study Summary

This trial is testing an innovative teen pregnancy prevention program called Project With. The program uses group discussions of literary works and films to address personal relationships and sexual health topics. The study involves youth (age 15-19) at high risk for involvement in risky sexual behaviors, including teen pregnancy. The intervention shows potential to promote optimal health and reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among incarcerated and other justice-involved youth.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for justice-involved youth aged 15-19 in Southern California who are at high risk for risky sexual behaviors. Participants must be residing in certain facilities for at least 8 weeks and able to complete surveys in English or Spanish. Those not meeting these criteria, or previously involved in the study, cannot participate.Check my eligibility
