Summary

This trial will test whether an online health check-up, which provides information and brief interventions for sexually transmitted infections and alcohol/drug use, reduces risk more than a control condition for pregnant women.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women who currently use alcohol or drugs, have had unprotected sex recently, and may have multiple sexual partners or concerns about their partner's fidelity. Participants must understand English.
What is being tested?
The study tests a computer program called Health Check-up for Expectant Moms (HCEM) designed to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections and substance use during pregnancy compared to a control group receiving similar attention but different content.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves health education rather than medication, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs. However, participants might experience stress or discomfort discussing sensitive topics.
