NCT ID NCT07666152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two peer education programs to see which better improves nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Thirty-six first-year nursing students were split into two groups: one received a program based on a behavior-change model, the other got standard peer education. Both were taught by a trained fourth-year student in four weekly sessions. The goal is to find a more effective way to promote STI prevention among young adults.
