### Study Findings

The program was evaluated using a randomized controlled trial involving youth ages 13-19 who engaged in unprotected vaginal intercourse in the past year. Participants were recruited at nine primary care sites in New Mexico. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to either a treatment group that received the 15-minute program or a control group that received treatment as usual, which involved standard medical care at the clinic (including access to contraception). Surveys were administered immediately before the program (baseline), three months after the program, and nine months after the program. The study found that at three months post-program, youth who participated in the program and those in the control group were not significantly different in their reporting of unprotected sex in the last three months (effect size = -0.17). The study also examined program impacts at nine months; however, these findings were not considered for the review because the level of attrition posed a threat to the validity of the results as analyzed.
