NCT ID NCT07746791
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a mobile app delivering monthly health education can improve sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, and psychosocial well-being among first-year female university students in Ethiopia. The app covers topics like safe sex, healthy eating, stress management, and responsible phone use. Researchers will compare outcomes between students who use the app and those who don't to see if the intervention makes a measurable difference.
