Summary

This trial will assess an innovative program to prevent pregnancy and STIs among youth at risk in Miami, to answer the question of how it affects unprotected sex.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for 9th and 10th graders in the greater Miami area who are at high risk of pregnancy and STIs. Participants should be able to attend mainstream classes without severe cognitive, mental health, or behavioral impairments.

What is being tested?

The study tests if adding Mind Matters trauma-coping skills curriculum to Relationship Smarts Plus reduces unprotected sex rates among teens compared to just Relationship Smarts Plus or financial literacy (PAYA).

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational programs rather than medical interventions, traditional side effects like those from medication are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing personal topics.
