First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a mobile app called Virtual Promotoras (VIP) for young Latina women aged 16-21 in Alabama who hadn't had a sexual health visit in 18 months. The app provided educational modules, a goal-setting tool, and a chat room. The goal was to see if the app was feasible and acceptable, not to measure its effectiveness.
