What this trial studies

This project aims to rigorously evaluate the READY to Stand curriculum developed by The Set Me Free Project to prevent the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). The curriculum includes psychoeducation and skills training for high school students and school personnel, focusing on reducing CSEC perpetration and victimization, as well as promoting bystander intervention. The study will compare outcomes between participants and a control group over a five-year period, with the goal of disseminating effective strategies to other communities in the U.S.
