Undergraduate Katie Hale completed her honors thesis in the Williamson Lab this year, working with data from the Future First project, which is an evaluation of a youth sexual and relationship education program delivered in public high schools in Texas. She focused on sexual and gender minority youth participating in the program, finding that 25% of the students who participated in the program identified as a sexual or gender minority. These students had higher levels of knowledge about STDs after finishing the program than non-SMY youth, but report feeling less interested in the program than non-SMY youth.
