Teens teaching teens about contraception on social media — a pilot study puts the idea to the test
NCT ID NCT06943209
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a contraception education program delivered by peer influencers via social networks is feasible for high school students aged 15 to 19 in Guadeloupe and La Réunion. Selected students create and share educational videos on sexual health, while others view the content and complete surveys on their knowledge before and after the program. The main goal is to see if at least 70% of planned tasks are completed by the peer educators over three months.
