Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Condom knowledge
Students in the intervention group will show greater condom knowledge than students in the comparison group. This will consist of a scale that will be knowledge questions specific to the steps of condom usage. An overall score will be based on the percent correct. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.
Condom use
Students in the intervention group will show greater condom use self-efficacy than students in the comparison group. This will consist of a scale created for this study. This will be a self-efficacy scale using a 4-point strongly agree to strongly disagree scale. For each of these a higher score would be a more positive outcome.
STI knowledge
Students in the intervention group will show greater knowledge on STIs than students in the comparison group. This will be based on knowledge questions specific to the information found in SkillTalk. An overall score will be based on the percent correct. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.
Connectedness
Students in the intervention group will report greater feelings of connectedness with/perceived personalization of sexual health lesson messages than students in the comparison group. This will be based on a four point strongly agree to strongly disagree scale with questions specific to the information found in SkillTalk. An overall score will be based on the mean overall score of these questions. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Self-efficacy and comfort with microskills
Educators in the intervention group will report greater self-efficacy and comfort with condom and STI Microskills than educators in the comparison group. This will be based on a four point strongly agree to strongly disagree scale with questions specific to the information found in SkillTalk. An overall score will be based on the mean overall score of these questions. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.
Student impressions of educator skills
Students in the intervention group will report more positive perceptions of educator knowledge, skill, and comfort to teach sexual health lessons. This will be based on a four point strongly agree to strongly disagree scale with questions specific to the information found in SkillTalk. An overall score will be based on the mean overall score of these questions. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.
Frequency of parent-child communication
Parents in the intervention group will report more frequent communication about sexual health with their youth. This will be based on a scale that will include daily, more than twice a week, twice per week, weekly, bi weekly, monthly, less than monthly, and never. A greater frequency of communication would be a more positive outcome.
Comfort in parent-child communication
Parents in the intervention group will report more comfort in communicating with their child about sexual health. This will be based on a four point strongly agree to strongly disagree scale with questions specific to the information found in SkillTalk. An overall score will be based on the mean overall score of these questions. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.
Parent-child communication
Parents in the intervention group will be perceived as better communicators by their children. This will be based on a four point strongly agree to strongly disagree scale with questions specific to the information found in SkillTalk. An overall score will be based on the mean overall score of these questions. A higher score would be a more positive outcome.

Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of SkillTalk among educators, parents, and students. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
What is the impact of SkillTalk on student sexual-health related outcomes?
What is the impact of SkillTalk on educator microskills?
Educator participants will use an online microskills training platform for one week. Parent participants will be asked to use a parent-specific online microskills training platform for one week. Youth participants will not be asked to do anything outside of "business as usual." Researchers will compare the treatment groups to the control groups to measure the impact of SkillTalk.
