This project involves the adaptation and integration of evidence-based prevention content aimed at preventing and reducing substance use, sexual assault, and sexual risk behaviors. This project uses innovative technology within primary care visits to conduct a feasibility trial of an integrated prevention program.

About this study

Pilot feasibility trial in preparation for RCT. Adolescents aged 14-18 will be recruited for screening from community-based primary care clinics to ensure ease of dissemination and representation of community-based primary care settings. The primary goal is to develop feasibility to apply for an R01 to conduct an RCT. Power analyses indicate that 280 participants would be needed for an RCT after accounting for attrition. Given that the RCT would be conducted over a 3-year period, a recruitment rate of 8 adolescents per month would indicate feasibility for a larger RCT.
