About This Gender-based Violence Study in Benton Harbor

The goal of this trial is to learn how the Safe Dates for Young Parents (SDYP) intervention affects the sexual and reproductive health behaviors, and quality of, and attitudes surrounding intimate partner relationships in adolescents and young adults (AYA) assigned female sex at birth who are pregnant or parenting. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will the SDYP intervention have any effect on the sexual and reproductive health behaviors during the study period? * Will the SDYP intervention have any effect on the prevention or reduction of intimate partner violence (IPV)? * Will the SDYP intervention have any effect on the attitudes and beliefs about healthy relationships? Researchers will compare the behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs about sexual and reproductive health and relationships of participants assigned to the SDYP intervention group to participants assigned to the control (non-SDYP intervention) group to see if there is any difference or changes in those behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs before-and-after or without the SDYP intervention. Participants in the SDYP intervention will attend ten (10) 50-minute group sessions that will involve interactive discussions, thinking through life-like scenarios, games, role-plays, brainstorming, and a poster contest and theatrical play.
