iTRAC HERO: Reducing Risky Behavior in Adolescents
This study is testing an interactive education program called iTRAC-HERO. This program uses digital activities like games and videos to teach emotion regulation skills within sexual health education. The goal is to help adolescents make safer choices and reduce risky sexual behaviors. We are looking for 120 adolescents, aged 12 to 14, who are in 7th grade and attend a participating school. Your parent or guardian must speak English or Spanish. We will measure if the program helps improve confidence in making sexual health decisions and preventing HIV over six months. The study status is currently unclear.
