Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
SafeSpace Sexual Health
The proposed intervention is a 10-week app-based program, SafeSpace Sexual Health. SafeSpace Sexual Health will be implemented using a secure, anonymous mobile app that uses authentic stories to engage young people with sexual health information and resources. The program addresses healthy relationships, anatomy and physiology, identity, adolescent development, STIs/HIV, pregnancy and reproduction, decision-making, personal safety, communication, and accessing healthcare. Each lesson includes a story written by youth with lived experience, two to three key facts developed by sexual health experts, a reflection prompt, and two to three reputable resources.
SafeSpace Sexual Health
The overall goal of the program is to prevent adolescent pregnancy and STIs by increasing sexual agency, increasing the use of condoms and contraception, and promoting healthy relationships and healthy life skills among adolescents.
SafeSpace General Health
Participants in the control condition will participate in a 10-week app-based general health program, SafeSpace General Health. Lessons address general health topics including self-care, stress, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, substance use, driving and seatbelt use, and social media. Each lesson contains 2-3 key facts created by public health experts and reputable resources. Similar to SafeSpace Sexual Health, youth will receive SafeSpace General Health over 10 weeks, although SafeSpace General Health includes one lesson per week and does not contain youth stories or reflection prompts.
SafeSpace General Health
This arm represents the comparison group. SafeSpace General Health will act as the active comparator, while providing youth with lessons, facts, and resources about general health topics.
