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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: digital behavioral intervention (PACT program)
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.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with no phase, and results rely on self-reported behavior, which may not reflect real-world impact. The program is digital, so engagement and long-term effects are uncertain.
