Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Sixteen months after being offered the intervention, does PGC-MS impact youth's initiation of sexual intercourse?
Researchers will compare participants randomized to receive PGC-MS (treatment group) to participants randomized to class-as-usual (which contains no sexual or reproductive health information (control group)).
Participants randomized to the treatment group will be offered PGC-MS over the course of their transition year into middle school (either 6th or 7th grade). Participants randomized to the control group will be offered class-as-usual.

Peer Group Connection - Middle School (PGC-MS)
Peer Group Connection - Middle School (PGC-MS)
Peer Group Connection - Middle School (PGC-MS) is the treatment condition. PGC-MS is a school-based positive youth development program for students entering the transition year into middle school (6th or 7th grade). PGC-MS aims to improve school engagement and social-emotional learning skills that support adolescent health and educational outcomes for program participants. Participants receive 45-minute outreach sessions held 3 to 4 times per month for the full school year. Schools are expected to implement a minimum of 18 outreach sessions over the school year. PGC-MS outreach sessions are delivered by older peer leaders (8th, 9th, or 10th graders) who are carefully selected by faculty advisors and trained on how to deliver program content.
