Summary

This study tests a program called Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP) to see if it helps pregnant or parenting teens and young adults build healthier relationships and avoid intimate partner violence. The program includes ten group sessions with discussions, role-plays, and activities. Researchers will compare 600 participants who get the program with those who don't, looking at condom use and experiences of coercion over 12 months.
