Technology-based interventions to promote sexual health have proliferated in recent years, yet their efficacy among youth has not been meta-analyzed. This study synthesizes the literature on technology-based sexual health interventions among youth. Studies were included if they: 1) sampled youth ages 13-24; 2) utilized technology-based platforms; 3) measured condom use or abstinence as outcomes; 4) evaluated program effects with experimental or quasi-experimental designs; and 5) were published in English. 16 studies with 11,525 youth were synthesized. There was a significant weighted mean effect of technology-based interventions on condom use (d=.23, 95% CI [0.12, 0.34], p<.001) and abstinence (d=.21, 95% CI [0.02, 0.40], p=.027). Effects did not differ by age, gender, country, intervention dose, interactivity, or program tailoring. However, effects were stronger when assessed with short-term (1-5 months) compared to longer-term (greater than 6 months) follow-ups. Compared to control programs, technology-based interventions were also more effective in increasing sexual health knowledge (d=.40, p<.001) and safer sex norms (d=.15, p=.022) and attitudes (d=.12, p=.016). After 15 years of research on youth-focused technology-based interventions, this meta-analysis demonstrates their promise to improve safer sex behavior and cognitions. Future work should adapt interventions to extend their protective effects over time.
