NCT ID NCT06670066
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called Let's Talk Birth Control, which includes a printed guide and a website to help teens pick a birth control method. About 1,500 teens at community health centers will take part. The goal is to see if the program reduces unprotected sex and helps teens use the birth control they prefer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Let's Talk Birth Control intervention (contraceptive decision aid, provider training, and Bedsider.org website)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, scalable way to help teens avoid unplanned pregnancy by improving contraceptive use.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results depend on real-world use and may not apply to all teens. The 9-month follow-up is relatively short.
