NCT05889689
The goal of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to assess an innovative adolescent pregnancy prevention program among youth that are at the highest risk of adolescent pregnancy, to prevent pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS in the greater Miami area in Florida. The primary research question it aims to answer is: (RQ1a): What is the effect of adding 4.5 hours of Mind Matters trauma-coping skills curriculum to the Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum, on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the students receiving only the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum? (RQ1b): What is the effect of the 14-hour-long Relationship Smarts Plus curriculum on rates of unprotected sex among 9th and 10th graders compared to the control group receiving only financial literacy? Participants will complete program lessons and complete surveys for data collection. The RCT will assess behavioral health outcomes and other psychological outcomes at four-time points (baseline, post-program, 3 months, and 12 months)

NCT03729726
This study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to evaluate the impacts of the Future Foundation (FF) 2.0 Personal Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS) program on reducing students' sexual activity (vaginal), recent risking sexual activity without condom use, and unprotected sex (no condoms/contraceptives). FF will implement the 2.0 PREIS Program with three cohorts of African-American youth in the 6th to 8th grades. FF aims to recruit and enroll 400 students who are new to the program for Cohort 1, 150 new students for Cohort 2, and another 150 new students for Cohort 3. These cohorts of eligible students will come from grades 6-8 in Woodland and McNair middle schools and projected to attend Banneker high school. Random assignment will be an ongoing process throughout the project enrollment periods. By the end of the recruitment processes, a total of 700 students will be randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group, resulting in 350 students in each condition. Each year, the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention model will offer year-round grant-funded services, including after-school, summer programming, and parent engagement activities. The 350 youth randomly assigned to the treatment group will be offered the FF 2.0 PREIS program (Cohort 1 will target 200 treatment youth from January 2018 through June 2018; Cohort 2 will target 75 treatment youth from August 2018 through May 2019; and Cohort 3 will serve 75 treatment youth from August 2019 through May 2020.), while the 350 students assigned to the control group may receive after school and/or summer programming from another community-based organization. The primary hypotheses for the RCT study are the following: significantly fewer numbers of students in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention engage in vaginal sex than their control group peers do by the time of the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up; significantly fewer numbers of students in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention engage in recent unprotected sex significantly than the control group students do at the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up; and significantly greater numbers of participants in the FF 2.0 PREIS intervention remain abstinent or report condom use during recent vaginal sexual activity than the control group students do at the end of the program and also at the six-month follow-up.
NCT03419728
Under contract to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Mathematica Policy Research is conducting an impact study of Healthy Families Healthy Futures in Houston, Texas for a Federal Evaluation of Programs for Expectant and Parenting Youth (PEPY). The impact study will be designed to address three main questions: * Was the program successful in exposing participants to program content, such as information about methods of birth control? * Was the program successful at improving short-term outcomes, such as use of a LARC and intention to space births? * To what extent did treatment youth receive the intended program components?
NCT00342706
This study will determine the best ways to help teen mothers stay healthy and to increase the time between their pregnancies to at least 2 years. It is designed to encourage attitudes and behaviors that are generally thought to be related to longer intervals between pregnancies. Children of teen mothers generally receive less health care, have lower IQ scores and are more likely to enter foster care. They have less supportive home environments and higher rates of incarceration and teen childbearing. African-American and Latino teenagers living in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area who are pregnant with their first baby may be eligible for this study. Mothers or mother figures of the teens also are encouraged to participate. Candidates must be between 15 and 18 year of age and speak English. Teen mothers enrolled in the study take a urine pregnancy test every 6 months during this 2-year study. They are randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: Usual Care Group: Teens in this group are interviewed by telephone for about 1 hour every 6 months and for about 15 minutes at 3, 9, 15 and 21 months. The hour-long interview includes questions about the teen's feelings and behaviors, risks to her health and well being, and how she communicates with her boyfriend and family members. She is also asked about what she does to reach personal goals, what she thinks about sexual health, and what support she gets from her family, boyfriend, or others. The 15-minute interview is an update to check on the teen's health and pregnancy status and to verify contact information. Intervention Group: Teens in this group are asked the same questions as those in the usual care group; however, they are involved in a project designed to encourage them to set goals of furthering their education and training and wait at least 2 years before becoming pregnant again. Teens in this group are counseled on learning to communicate and work out problems with their family and boyfriend and on how to keep from getting pregnant again soon. The participants meet for a 2-hour group session every 3 months at a local health center and are contacted frequently by a cell phone, which is provided to them at no cost. The phone sessions are about things that are important to the teens, such as problems in their relationships, health, sexually transmitted diseases, and preventing another pregnancy too soon. The conversations are private and take about 45 minutes. Mothers (or...
