Primary outcomePrimary: Dual Protection Behaviors, Reported in Surveys and Reviewed in the Medical Record. — 7; 6; 8; 8 Participants
Summary
This study aims to use a text messaging intervention to prevent unintended teen pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted disease. The study will be informed by a formative qualitative phase (February 2014 - January 2015) which will include individual qualitative interviews and focus groups with teens to elucidate and explore the barriers to effective contraceptive use and sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention and to obtain feedback on the developed intervention. The second efficacy phase will randomize subjects to the texting intervention or to usual care.
