Virtual Sexual Health Education for Court-Involved & Court-Exposed Girls: A Pilot of the Adapted My Body, My Choice Intervention.
Article in American journal of sexuality education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Court-involved non-incarcerated (CINI) girls and girls with prior carceral exposure often have heightened sexual and reproductive health (SRH) risks and unique needs but limited access to care. These risks are compounded by childhood trauma and lack of access to trauma-informed, developmentally-aligned SRH education. Despite this, few interventions are tailored to the needs of CINI girls or those with prior carceral exposure. Objective: We piloted the Methods: We conducted a pre-experimental, one-group pre-test-posttest study with three cohorts (N = 31). Participants identified as cis-girls, ages 12-18, who were either CINI or had prior carceral exposure. MBMC-CINI was delivered via Zoom and included 11 interactive modules facilitated by health educators, clinicians, and lived experience experts. Participants completed surveys at baseline, 1-month, and 3-months post-intervention. Measures included knowledge of birth control methods, sexual health concepts, confidence using contraception, and communication behaviors. We assessed changes over time using Exact McNemar and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Tests. Results: Twenty-four participants completed baseline surveys, 21 completed 1-month follow-up, and 17 completed all three assessments. Delivery of MBMC-CINI was associated with significant improvements in familiarity with multiple contraceptive methods (e.g., birth control pills, condoms, injectable birth control) and confidence in correctly using condoms and contraception. Retention was high, with most participants attending the majority of sessions, despite substantial structural barriers; for example, 42% of participants reported homelessness in the prior year. Conclusions: The MBMC-CINI intervention was associated with improvements in SRH knowledge and confidence, along with strong intervention engagement, supporting further testing of this intervention at scale. Expanding access to tailored, trauma-informed SRH education has the potential to advance reproductive health outcomes and health equity for marginalized youth.
