Summary

This randomized control trial (RCT) will assess an innovative demonstration project to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health among highly mobile and marginalized youth in Fresno County, California. The Digital Initiative for Youth intervention combines existing, in-person, group-based, comprehensive sexual health education with wraparound digital technologies. The technological component was designed by Youth+Tech+Health using a "youth-centered" design approach and the intervention is implemented by Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC). The University of California, San Francisco is the external evaluator. The RCT will assess health and behavioral outcomes at three time points (baseline, 4 months, 10 months).
