Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study is a 2-arm cluster randomized controlled trial with approximately 1,200 youth aged 14-19 years to assess the effectiveness of Yes and Know, a sexual health education program. To be eligible, participants must be 14-19 years old and English-speaking. Those in the treatment arm will receive Yes and Know, a synchronous virtual program delivered over multiple sessions totaling nine hours, along with asynchronous online activities and resources. Those in the control arm will receive a similarly structured program focused on nutrition education. Participants will complete brief online surveys at baseline and at 3 and 12 months after the synchronous sessions. The study will assess the program's effectiveness in reducing the prevalence of unprotected sex among youth and improving short-term outcomes, such as knowledge of reproductive health and healthy relationships, self-efficacy, and the use of reproductive health services.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the Yes and Know treatment for sexually transmitted infections?

The research shows that educational programs about sexually transmitted infections can improve knowledge and attitudes among healthcare providers, which may indirectly support the effectiveness of the Yes and Know treatment by ensuring better-informed care.12345

Is the Yes and Know Curriculum for Sexually Transmitted Infections safe for participants?

The available research does not provide specific safety data for the Yes and Know Curriculum, as it focuses on educational outcomes rather than safety concerns.678910
