Can a 5-Hour class cut teen pregnancies in rural areas?
NCT ID NCT06574321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called Wrap It Up (WIU) for 11th and 12th graders in rural California. The program is a short booster course (4-5 hours) that builds on earlier sex ed to help teens make informed decisions about sex, contraception, and STDs. Researchers will compare students who get WIU to those who don't, tracking whether they avoid unprotected sex over 6 and 12 months. The goal is to see if this low-cost approach can lower high unintended pregnancy rates in rural communities.
