Detailed Description
Over the course of five years, we expected to have approximately 800 teens (400 program and 400 control) in the study. Teens were randomly selected for the program (Teen Council) and control (no program) conditions.
Teens in both groups were surveyed in the late summer/early fall of their enrollment year and each spring thereafter. Participation in the evaluation by control teens and unenrolled program teens was recognized with a small stipend.
The pre-survey was administered during the summer retreat for incoming Teen Council members. The same survey was administered by Philliber staff for the control youth via online, telephone, or mailed surveys during the late summer/fall. The post-surveys were administered at the end of the school year. Again, the survey was administered by program facilitators for the Teen Council program group. Philliber administered the post survey for the control group providing the same options for completion (online, telephone, or mail).
To facilitate follow-up, complete contact information was collected at baseline. This included the telephone numbers, physical addresses, and email addresses of the student and telephone numbers of their parents/guardians. Also requested was contact information for two relatives or adult friends who would likely know how to contact the teen. Parents were asked on the consent form to provide permission to receive change of school information in the event that their teen transferred to a new school. Philliber reached out to unenrolled Teen Council members and control group teens by telephone, email, text messaging, and/or U.S. Mail for survey administration (via telephone, online, or hard copy).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Teen Council Pogram
Teens assigned to the intervention group received a 1-year long Teen Council Program.
|
Youth randomly selected for Teen Council attended weekly meetings for an entire school year to receive training on specific topics.
In turn, they provided educational presentations to the community, which required that they miss school (about one day per month).
The presentations Teen Council members offered in middle and high schools were most commonly on birth control methods; relationships; reproductive anatomy and physiology; sexual diversity; STDs/STIs; sexual consent; HIV/AIDS; and abstinence.
|
No Intervention: Control Group
Teens assigned to the control group did not receive any intervention.

Communication with parents
Time Frame: Prior to program participation (baseline)

Two items about teen comfort talking with parents about sex and birth control, rated 1 to 4, with 4 indicating the highest level of comfort.
These two items were examined individually.
