First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding trauma-coping lessons to a relationship skills program helps teens aged 13-19 in Miami avoid unprotected sex and pregnancy. Nearly 1,000 youth will be split into three groups: one gets the combined program, one gets relationship skills only, and a control group gets financial literacy. Researchers will survey participants over 12 months to see which approach works best.
