Summary

The study aims to implement Using the Connect (UTC), an innovative, game-based intervention designed to increase protective factors and decrease adolescent pregnancies. This intervention will be implemented in Texas middle schools and community-based organizations. The long-term goal is to promote optimal health in youth and prevent adolescent pregnancy in populations disproportionately impacted by adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates. The short-term objective is to conduct a robust, multi-site clustered randomized controlled trial to evaluate implementation outcomes and the impact of UTC, a novel theory-based game developed using powerful and effective human-centered design (HCD) strategies, on intention to delay sexual activity.
