艾滋病毒/性传播疾病和意外怀孕在美国的青少年中持续存在;因此，有必要进行有效的性健康干预，并广泛传播。数字健康干预措施非常有前途，因为它们允许定制和广泛覆盖。目前的项目涉及重新开发和扩展HEART（健康教育和关系培训）-一种简短的数字性健康干预措施，有效地提高安全性行为知识，自我效能和行为-到一个开源平台上，以实现更大的互动性和可访问性，同时降低长期计划成本。作者描述了适应，重新编程和评估新程序的过程，这可能会为寻求将行为干预措施适应数字平台的研究人员提供指导。最终产品是一种开源的干预措施，可以很容易地适应新的人群。在233名青少年（M年龄= 15.06; 64%的女孩）中，HEART是高度可接受的，并且通常是可行的，性别或性别认同的可接受性没有差异。
HIV/STDs and unintended pregnancy persist among adolescents in the United States; thus, effective sexual health interventions that can be broadly disseminated are necessary. Digital health interventions are highly promising because they allow for customization and widespread reach. The current project involved redeveloping and expanding HEART (Health Education and Relationship Training)-a brief, digital sexual health intervention efficacious at improving safer sex knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior-onto an open-source platform to allow for greater interactivity and accessibility while reducing long-term program costs. The authors describe the process of adapting, reprogramming, and evaluating the new program, which may serve as a guide for investigators seeking to adapt behavioral interventions onto digital platforms. The final product is an open-source intervention that can be easily adapted for new populations. Among 233 adolescents (M-age = 15.06; 64% girls), HEART was highly acceptable and generally feasible to administer, with no differences in acceptability by gender or sexual identity.
