Approved
consistent with the understanding that the waiver of parental
consent for the participation of youth under the age of 18 has been
specifically reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review
Board. All communications of outcomes from this study will convey
that this short-term project is not sufficiently powered or
designed to evaluate the effect of the Crush app on teen pregnancy
outcomes---but rather to assess for potential changes in
self-reported use of contraception and clinic utilization 3 months
and 6 months after initial use of the mobile application. In
addition, the study cannot distinguish dosage effects associated
with variable rates of use of the application on measured outcomes
due to insufficient sample size. Any reports, presentations, or
publications describing the outcomes of this study will clearly
communicate the above limitations inherent to the study's sample
size and design.
