Can a helpline prevent harmful sexual behavior in teens?
NCT ID NCT07525778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the WhatsOK helpline can help teens aged 14-17 who are worried about their sexual thoughts or behaviors. Participants will be randomly assigned to use the helpline or not, and researchers will track whether they seek other support and whether they engage in harmful sexual behaviors. The goal is to see if a confidential helpline can prevent problems before they start.
