Wrap It Up Rigorous Evaluation
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pregnancy in Adolescence, Sexually Transmitted Diseases
In brief
Unintended pregnancy rates among teenagers are higher in rural counties than urban or suburban counties. Wrap It Up (WIU) is a sexual health education "booster" program for older high school students attending school in rural communities that was designed to help address this situation. Though there is preliminary evidence of the program's effectiveness, it has not yet been rigorously evaluated with a randomized controlled trial. WIU is designed to equip 11th and 12th grade students with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed sexual health decisions as they move from high school into adulthood, in order to prevent behavioral risk factors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Most students this age will have received prior SHE. WIU is a 4-to-5-hour "booster" intervention, delivered during late high school, intended to enhance the effectiveness of previous SHE. The study's primary research question is: What is the impact at 6-months post baseline of WIU relative to a "business as usual" comparison condition on the proportion of youth who self-report they either did not have vaginal or anal sex, or used condoms or effective birth control when they had vaginal or anal sex, in the past 90 days? The study's secondary research questions are: * What is the impact at 6-months post baseline of WIU relative to a "business as usual" comparison condition on the proportion of youth who self-report improved self-efficacy for self-advocating with healthcare providers, peers, and partners about their sexual health? * What is the impact at 6-months post-baseline of WIU relative to a "business as usual" comparison condition on the proportion of youth who self-report improved self-efficacy to find and access sexual health services? * What is the impact at 12-months post-baseline of WIU relative to a "business as usual" comparison condition on the proportion of youth who self-report they either did not have vaginal or anal sex, or used condoms or effective birth control when they had vaginal or anal sex, in the past 90 days?
