Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Child Trends plans to conduct an individual randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of Parent Toolkit 2.0 in delaying sexual initiation and increasing contraceptive use among youth who engage in sexual activity. Youth outcomes are expected to improve as a result of the expansion of parental knowledge and improvement of parent-teen communication about adolescent health, sexual health, and relationships. Associated outcomes will be measured through two surveys, one of which will be distributed immediately after the intervention ends while the other will be administered nine months after the end of the intervention.
The intended population is youth ages 12-15 living in rural and micropolitan areas in central, north, and southeast Georgia, and their parents or caregivers. A "caregiver" in this context is defined as someone who lives with the child at least 50 percent of the time and who is one of the main people responsible for the child. The parents or caregivers will be the program participants since they are the intended recipients of all intervention-related resources such as the toolkit, videos, and group-based virtual sessions. By contrast, the youth enrolled in the study will not directly engage in the programming.
As a part of this study, treatment group parent/caregiver participants will be asked to:
* Review a self-paced parent guide and four videos modeling parent-teen communication on Canvas
* Attend two 1-hour group sessions with other parents
* Complete baseline and post-intervention surveys
* Participate in an optional focus group discussion
Control group parent/caregiver participants will be asked to:
* Review a self-paced parent guide on Canvas
* Complete baseline and post-intervention surveys
* Participate in an optional focus group discussion
Treatment and control group youth participants will be asked to:
* Complete baseline, post-intervention, and nine-month follow-up surveys
* Participate in an optional focus group discussion

Morehouse Family Health Study's General Health Guide
General Health Guide provides information to parents on how to promote health in their families.
Treatment Condition
Adult participants in the treatment condition will receive access to the Parent Toolkit 2.0 intervention, which includes an online interactive guide, four videos modeling parent-teen communication around sex and contraception, and two group-based, virtual sessions with other parents and caregivers.
Morehouse Family Health Study's Parent Toolkit 2.0
Parent Toolkit 2.0 is designed to equip parents and caregivers with skills to talk to their teens about sex and contraception and ultimately influence their teens' decision-making and behaviors around sex. The Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power \& Potential (GCAPP) developed the Parent Toolkit intervention. Morehouse School of Medicine's (MSM) Health Promotion Research Center tested and adapted it through an OPA Innovation Network grant, creating Parent Toolkit 2.0.
