The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of TOP® on sexual health behavior.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The cluster-randomized study was conducted in 9th grade classrooms in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) with equal number of schools randomized to intervention and comparison groups for two cohort years. Students were administered a scannable paper survey at three time points: baseline, post-program and 1-year post program. The primary impact analysis used an intent-to-treat approach. Implementation of TOP® was assessed by conducting classroom observations. TOP® was delivered in a variety of classroom settings over the school year by facilitators from CPS and partner organizations.
