The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Wise Guys program on the delaying sexual initiation on adolescent males in Eastern Iowa.
This study uses a randomized controlled design to compare the impacts of the Wise Guys Program to the "business-as-usual" school curriculum. The Wise Guys multi-session curriculum is delivered in different formats that range in length from 5 to 12 weeks and topics covered include communication and masculinity, dating violence, abstinence and contraception, and sexually transmitted infections. Study participants are 7th grade boys attending a participating school in either the Davenport Iowa or North Scott Community school districts. This study is being conducted as part of the national Personal Responsibility Education Program evaluation funded by Administration for Children and Families within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
