Summary

This study is testing a 5-day classroom program for teens aged 14-19 in rural Tennessee. The goal is to reduce pregnancies, STIs, and risky behaviors like sexting by teaching both abstinence and contraception. About 1,200 high-risk youth will take part, and researchers will track changes in sexual activity over six months.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could provide an effective way to reduce teen pregnancies and STIs in rural, high-risk communities.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study with no drug or device, so results depend on participation and follow-up. It may not work for all youth or settings.
