Summary

Early unintended fatherhood and rates of sexually transmitted infections remain national concerns, disproportionately affecting minority, underserved adolescent males, many of whom frequently use emergency departments (EDs) for medical care. EDs must implement effective sexual and reproductive health interventions that are evidence-based and reproducible. This research will conduct pilot testing of a personalized and interactive digital intervention specifically targeting adolescent males entitled Dr. Eric that is theory-based, user-informed, and scalable across EDs.

Dr. Eric Digital Health Intervention

Dr. Eric is a user-informed, theory-based, digital health intervention that aims to improve adolescent male SRH. This ED-based intervention consists of two parts-an interactive, tailored app and 3 months of personalized, two-way text messaging. It is based on an evidence-based sexual health curriculum we developed using established behavioral theories, prior literature, input from key stakeholders, qualitative patient interviews, and our prior ED-based work.
