This study evaluates an educational web-based intervention designed to increase adolescent
boys' and girls' motivation and skills to engage in safer sexual behavior (HEART: Health
Education and Relationship Training). Half of participants will receive HEART and half of
participants will receive Growing Minds, an attention-matched control website focused on
growth mindsets of intelligence and self-regulation. The ultimate goal of this work is to
help youth reduce their risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and to avoid
unplanned pregnancies.
