Girls Invest: A Mobile-Enabled Economic Empowerment Intervention for Girls
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Girls Invest Intervention for Behavioral Changes. Completed, enrolled 240 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Investigators will assess the preliminary effects of Girls Invest, an innovative savings intervention that aims to reduce economic, social, and health behavior risks associated with disproportionately high rates of pregnancy among US Latina adolescents. Girls Invest involves a multidisciplinary conceptual model adapting the most effective prevention strategies from the disciplines of public health and economics. Participants receive a savings account (via our collaborating bank) with $100 deposited in increments based on completion of each module of a gender and life skills training via a mobile "app."
