Summary

This study tests a fully online program called Yes and Know for teens aged 14-19. The program includes group sessions and digital tools to teach about sexual health, relationships, and life skills. About 1,200 teens will take part, with half receiving the program and half receiving a nutrition class instead. Researchers will survey participants at 3 and 12 months to see if the program reduces unprotected sex and improves knowledge and use of health services.
