NCT ID NCT06878755

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a digital program called PACT, designed to help queer teen boys (ages 14-17) learn how to talk about condom use and sexual consent with partners. Researchers will compare it to a general health program in 300 teens over 9 months. The goal is to see if the program boosts confidence and actual use of condoms and consent communication.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could give teens a practical tool to improve condom use and consent communication, reducing risky sexual situations.
