Abstract
Sexual health experts are advocating for schools to address healthy relationships and pornography in sex education. We developed and pilot tested the Healthy Relationships Program, an online intervention to be assigned as sex education homework covering healthy relationships, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy prevention, and pornography use for high schoolers in Massachusetts (N=54; ages 14-19 years). Participants found the content useful, the format enjoyable, and would recommend the program. Preliminary results suggest the intervention may increase condom use, sexual knowledge, and pornography literacy, and decrease dating violence. The Healthy Relationships Program appears feasible, acceptable, and may positively impact student sexual health.
