Acceptability and efficacy of a sexual health texting intervention designed to support adolescent females.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a pilot texting intervention ("t4she") in primary care designed to increase sexual health knowledge and promote dual protection strategies to reduce unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among adolescent females. The investigators concluded that the pilot t4she sexual health intervention significantly improved knowledge and use of short-acting prescription birth control among young females in primary care and was acceptable by youth and feasible to implement.

Association of adolescent- and parent-reported relationship functioning with HIV sexual risk among adolescents in Botswana.
Globally, adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa are the youth most affected by HIV. Parent-adolescent relationships can be protective in child and adolescent development and may be implicated in lowered adolescent HIV sexual risk. This dyadic study simultaneously assessed both parents' and adolescents' perceptions of family functioning and their relationships with adolescent sexual behaviors in Botswana.

Examining quality of contraceptive services for adolescents in Oregon's family planning program.
This study assessed the quality of care provided to adolescents (10–19 years old) compared to women (aged 20–25 years) who accessed services in Oregon's Contraceptive Care (CCare) program. It found that although adolescents served by CCare are more likely to initiate contraception, they are less likely to receive long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) than women aged 20–25 years.
