Can Peer-Led lessons help students learn about STIs? new study tests two approaches
NCT ID NCT07666152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two peer education programs to see which better improves nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Thirty-six first-year nursing students were split into two groups: one received a program based on a behavior-change model, the other got standard peer education. Both were taught by a trained fourth-year student in four weekly sessions. The goal is to find a more effective way to promote STI prevention among young adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- peer education program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a more effective way to teach young people about preventing sexually transmitted infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to other groups. It measures knowledge and attitudes, not actual infection rates.
