Abstract: Despite overall declines in teen pregnancy rates, teen pregnancies remain high among justice-involved youth. Justice-involved youth are disproportionately likely to engage in riskier sexual health behavior and simultaneously lack access to sexual health education programs. The study investigated the impact of Healthy U, a program specifically designed for male justice-involved youth. Healthy U is an app-based, self-paced fatherhood prevention program.
