Job help plus HIV prevention: a new approach for At-Risk youth
NCT ID NCT06096324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program that combines job-finding support with HIV prevention education for 500 young adults aged 18-24 in Baltimore who face economic hardship. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either job alerts alone or job alerts plus extra HIV prevention texts, educational sessions, mentoring, and economic resources. The goal is to see if the combined approach improves economic stability and reduces condomless sex.
