Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
PRG will conduct an implementation evaluation and an impact evaluation of a structured version of YUP!, called Guided YUP!. Guided YUP! involves a two-month program experience during which participants are directed through a dashboard on the website to review between 15-35 minutes of particular website content each week. Participants will also be paired with a near-peer mentor who will schedule virtual interactions with them every two weeks, for a total of at least five interactions over the course of the two-month intervention period. All interactions will be held via the YUP! participant dashboard and are expected to last between 5-10 minutes. The aim of these interactions is for the near-peer mentor to offer support and guidance, using motivational interviewing techniques, as the participants go through the Guided YUP! program. Additionally, Guided YUP! participants will be asked to outline and complete at least one goal during the two-month intervention period, using the goal tool on the website. Guided YUP! participants will also receive automatically generated tips and affirmations through the website and have access to the YUP! online community to participate in, if desired.
PRG will assess the efficacy of Guided YUP! using a randomized controlled trial. The study will target young mothers ages 15-20 who are currently caring for their child(ren) and not pregnant or trying to become pregnant. The primary aim of the study will be to investigate the impact of the intervention on two self-reported sexual behaviors: 1) use of effective non-barrier contraception and 2) frequency of vaginal sex without condoms. In addition, the study will include exploratory investigations of the following self-reported sexual behaviors and theoretically relevant antecedents to these behaviors: 1) frequency of sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing; 2) frequency of completely unprotected vaginal sex; 3) incidence of pregnancy; 4) incidence of STIs; 5) condom, contraceptive, and STI knowledge; 6) condom negotiation, contraceptive use, and STI testing self-efficacy; 7) condom and contraceptive use outcome expectations; and 8) perceived pregnancy fatalism. Finally, the study will explore the impact of the intervention on measures that assess participants' perceptions of their healthy relationships, self-care and well-being, goal achievement, and parenting competence.
Outcomes will be assessed using self-reported, participant-level data gathered using a structured questionnaire administered at four time points: baseline (enrollment); post-intervention (two months after baseline); three months post-intervention (five months after the baseline); and twelve months post-intervention (fourteen months after the baseline).
Starting in October 2022 and continuing for 21 months, 1400 participants from around the United States will be enrolled virtually. The final two years of the grant will be used to collect follow-up data from study participants; conduct implementation and impact evaluation analysis, reporting, and dissemination efforts.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Guided Young United Parents! (YUP!) Website Intervention
The Guided YUP! website intervention is the treatment condition, which will involve two months of directed use of the YUP! website.
Guided Young United Parents! Website Intervention
Participants assigned to Guided YUP! will receive two months of structured use of the YUP! website intervention, which involves weekly review of written and video content, meetings with near-peer mentors, use of the goal tool, interaction with the online community, and receipt of tips and affirmations.
Nutrition Website
The nutrition website is the control condition.
Nutrition Website
Participants assigned to the Nutrition Website will be provided with the link to the MyPlate website, which is maintained by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At the enrollment session, participants will be given brief instruction during the enrollment session about features available on the website that may be interesting to them and encouraged to engage in any of the website or app features at whatever level they are comfortable with. No further direction will be provided to them after the enrollment session.
