Summary
This trial tests a program called 'My Future Self' aimed at preventing pregnancy among teenagers aged 16-19 in Los Angeles and San Diego Counties. These teens face challenges like unstable housing and extreme poverty. The program uses group sessions to provide tailored education and support for pregnancy prevention.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking youth aged 16-19 in Los Angeles and San Diego who are not traditionally schooled, may face issues like unstable housing or poverty, and are not currently pregnant. They should be available locally for the duration of the 5-week program.
What is being tested?
'My Future Self' is a new group intervention aimed at preventing teen pregnancy. It's a 5-week program tested against regular services provided to youths in non-traditional settings. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive this intervention or just continue with their usual services.
What are the potential side effects?
Since 'My Future Self' is an educational group intervention rather than a medical treatment, it does not have side effects in the traditional sense. However, participants might experience emotional or psychological responses to discussions during sessions.
