MWB Trial Summary

This trial tests whether an innovative program can reduce STI & unplanned pregnancy and promote healthy and consensual relationships among youth, compared to a similar-length job readiness program.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish-speaking youth aged 15-19 living in the greater Metropolitan DC area. It's not for those planning a pregnancy, who've had sexual health education from the Latin American Youth Center before, or are getting other sexual health education during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The 'Many Ways of Being' program aims to reduce STIs and unplanned pregnancies by promoting healthy relationships and challenging rigid gender norms. This will be compared with a career readiness program without sexual health components over 4-8 weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an educational intervention rather than a medical one, traditional side effects like you'd see with medication aren't expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal topics related to sexual health.
