Several technology-based interventions have been shown to improve adolescent pregnancy prevention behaviors; however, more attention to intervention implementation efforts, mechanisms of action that lead to behavior change, and the impact youth engagement has on the development and implementation has on outcomes is needed. In addition, greater investments and attention to pregnancy prevention efforts that target youth from different cultural backgrounds, countries and contexts are also needed to reach those who have less access to information and care. Future research and practice should also address how engaging males, gender-expansive and sexual minorities in pregnancy prevention efforts can contribute to improved outcomes. There is also a need to standardize behavioral measures to facilitate meta-analysis.
