Texts that could transform trans teen sexual health

NCT ID NCT07681908

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study tests a 5-month text-messaging program called #TranscendentHealth, created specifically for transgender boys and gender-diverse youth assigned female at birth, ages 14 to 18. The program aims to improve condom use, birth control use, and HIV/STI testing by addressing the unique needs and experiences of these teens. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the tailored program or a general sexual health text program, and complete surveys over about a year.

Active substance

#TranscendentHealth text messaging program

What this could lead to

If effective, this could provide a scalable, private way to improve sexual health and reduce unintended pregnancy among transgender and gender-diverse youth.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage adaptation of an existing program, and its success depends on whether the tailored content engages participants better than a general program. Results may not apply to all youth.
