Texts and home visits aim to stop repeat STIs in young women
NCT ID NCT03828994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program combining daily text reminders, nurse home visits, and field-based treatment can help young women (ages 13-25) avoid repeat sexually transmitted infections after being treated for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The 150 participants in Baltimore will receive extra support for 30 days. Researchers hope this approach will improve treatment adherence and reduce risky sexual behavior.
