Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of SkillTalk, a subscription-based microskills video training library designed to enhance the skills of high school sex educators to implement the frequently used core components of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) curricula. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of SkillTalk on educators' demonstrable sexual health education skills. Participants will be asked to:

• Complete a consent form.
• Attend two simulated classroom sessions, either in person or virtually, during which they will teach two prepared lessons that have will be provided to them.
• Be video recorded while teaching.
• Complete a baseline survey and a post-survey.
• If assigned to the treatment group, they will be granted access to SkillTalk for one week to view the videos associated with the answering sensitive questions and using trauma-informed strategies skill sets. Researchers will compare the treatment group to the control group to see if SkillTalk has an impact on educators' demonstrable sexual health education skills.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Demonstrable use of microskills

  Educators in the intervention group will show greater demonstrable use of microskills than educators in the comparison group. These are rated using a rubric with ratings for each skill from not at all to completely. A total microskills score will be created using this scale of 0 for not at all to 5 for completely. The overall mean score will be the final score with higher scores being more positive outcomes.

  1 week
