The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Teen Choice program on reducing the rates of unprotected sex of high risk youth in New York.
This study uses a randomized controlled design to compare the impacts of the Teen Choice Program to the "business-as-usual" school curriculum. The Teen Choice curriculum is designed for adolescents aged 12 to 19 and will be delivered in different formats that range in length from 6 to 12 weeks. Teen Choice will be offered during the regular school day to middle and high school aged youth. 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.
