Summary

This trial will help us to understand how the mobile phone-based intervention affects HIV incidence, mental health, and alcohol use outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents aged 15-19 living in the greater Masaka region of southern Uganda who own a mobile phone and can consent to participate. They should not have taken part in Phase I of the study, ensuring new participants for Phase II.
What is being tested?
The study tests an adapted text-message and interactive voice response (IVR) system aimed at preventing HIV and addressing sexual, mental health, and alcohol use issues among youth. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive this mobile intervention or standard care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves information dissemination via mobile technology rather than medical interventions, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be risks related to privacy concerns or potential distress from sensitive content.
