“…The majority of studies ( n = 10) targeted adolescents and young adults ranging from ages 13 to 29 years (Card et al, 2011; Castaño et al, 2012; Chernick et al, 2017; Danielson et al, 2013; DiClemente et al, 2014; González Gladstein, 2018; Jones et al, 2013; Jones & Hoover, 2018; Klein & Card, 2011; Manlove et al, 2020). One study targeted a broader age range of 18 to 50 years (Billings et al, 2015), and one study targeted all individuals older than 18 years (El-Bassel et al, 2014).…”

“…One study targeted a broader age range of 18 to 50 years (Billings et al, 2015), and one study targeted all individuals older than 18 years (El-Bassel et al, 2014). Both Black and Latina women were included in seven studies (Castaño et al, 2012; Chernick et al, 2017; El-Bassel et al, 2014; González Gladstein, 2018; Jones et al, 2013; Jones & Hoover, 2018; Manlove et al, 2020). Five studies exclusively targeted Black women (Billings et al, 2015; Card et al, 2011; Danielson et al, 2013; DiClemente et al, 2014; Wingood et al, 2011).…”

“…Two studies reported oral contraception initiation and adherence as their primary outcome measures (Castaño et al, 2012; Chernick et al, 2017). A study conducted by Manlove et al (2020) focused on the initiation of various hormonal contraceptive methods (e.g., oral contraceptive pills, progestin injections, intrauterine devices, transdermal patch) along with increasing birth control knowledge as the primary outcomes (Manlove et al, 2020). González Gladstein (2018) reported a primary outcome measure of changing SRH knowledge levels among study participants.…”

“…Seven studies employed mobile phone– or telephone-based interventions. Interventions included text messaging (Castaño et al, 2012; Chernick et al, 2017), mobile phone apps (González Gladstein, 2018; Manlove et al, 2020), videophone devices (Jones et al, 2013; Jones & Hoover, 2018), and a telephone-based counseling intervention (DiClemente et al, 2014). The majority ( n = 5) of these interventions incorporated content that was tailored toward culture and/or gender (DiClemente et al, 2014; González Gladstein, 2018; Jones et al, 2013; Jones & Hoover, 2018; Manlove et al, 2020).…”

Background In addressing the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) disparities for Black and Latina women, there is a need for the development of innovative programs, framed using theoretical underpinnings that are culturally and contextually tailored so that they align with lived experiences. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer considerable potential as a means of providing effective SRH education and services. However, there has been a lack of research assessing culturally and contextually tailored mHealth SRH interventions for Black and Latina women. Method A comprehensive literature search was undertaken using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Literature was reviewed to evaluate whether a culturally and contextually tailored approach was utilized in the development and implementation of mHealth interventions for Black and Latina women. Results A total of 12 articles were included in our synthesis, which encompassed mobile phone–, telephone-, and computer-based mHealth interventions for Black and Latina women. Cultural and/or gender-specific tailoring was included in 10 studies. Reduction of risky sexual behaviors and increased contraception usage were reported in 92% ( n = 11) of the studies. Interventions that incorporated tailored content and fostered interaction reported high rates of follow-up. Conclusions Tailored mHealth interventions can be effective in promoting behavior change and improving SRH outcomes for Black and Latina women. However, there is a need for more research assessing user engagement and retention for Black and Latina women, and whether improvements in SRH outcomes are sustainable over the long term.

“…Pulse has six interactive sections covering approximately three hours of material related to birth control methods, healthy relationships, sexual consent, anatomy and physiology pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and clinic access (including a clinic locator). Each section includes engaging activities, such as appointment reminders and videos modeling real-life scenarios like clinic visits [ 25 , 26 ].…”

This study presents findings from a randomized control trial replication evaluation of Pulse, an app-based pregnancy prevention program implemented with Black and Latinx women aged 18–20, a population with high rates of unplanned pregnancy. We used social media advertisements to enroll 1013 women online across the U.S. and automatically randomized participants to either the Pulse reproductive health app or a general health control app, stratifying by age and race/Latinx ethnicity. Participants received reminder text messages to view the app as well as text messages with app-related content throughout the intervention. Linear probability models were conducted on the analytic sample of 871 participants who completed the six-week survey and 798 who completed the six-month survey and adjusted for permuted block randomization and multiple hypothesis testing. Compared to the control group, intervention group participants had higher contraceptive knowledge (p = 0.000), which replicates findings from an earlier evaluation. However, these impacts were not sustained at six-month follow-up (p = 0.162). We found no other significant program impacts. This contrasts with an earlier evaluation that found intervention participants were less likely to have had sex without a hormonal or long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) method and had greater self-confidence to use contraception consistently than the control group. Different demographic characteristics, lower app usage, and more negative attitudes about and usage of hormonal/LARC contraception in the current sample may help to explain fewer impacts than the earlier evaluation.
