Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: HIV Prevention; Sexual Health

• Registration Number: NCT07011563
• Lead Sponsor: Rhode Island Hospital

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to help young people talk to trusted adults (including their parents, but also other adults) about sexual health more openly and honestly- including how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases like HIV - while also respecting a young person's right to privacy. If youth don't have a parent they can talk to about sexual health, we want to help them find a trusted adult to talk to. We also want to help youth take control of their own health by learning about different ways to protect their health.
