Preventing HIV/STI in Urban Adolescents Via an mHealth Primary Care Intervention

S4E application was developed in collaboration with youth in Southeast Michigan. S4E aims to prevent and reduce HIV/STI risk behaviors, including drug use and sexual risk behaviors, and increase HIV/STI testing among youth. Content produced for the application is based on scientific prevention principles in conjunction with youth input. To date, we have developed modules focused on youth alcohol \& drug use, HIV \& STIs and a forthcoming module on tobacco prevention and cessation.

Participants in Usual Care (i.e., Control Condition) will not receive the S4E intervention from the study staff. The Clinic's usual care includes a standard risk behaviors intake form, pamphlets highlighting resources, and reproductive and healthcare services.
