Health Education Research – STEPS2

Participants Wanted!

STEPS2 is a study being done by teachers at the City University of New York (CUNY School of Public Health). The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and will help us to see if our health education curricula help people with I/DD to learn and to choose healthy behaviors.

People aged 16-27 with intellectual or developmental disabilities who join the STEPS2 study will either receive Steps To Your Health (STYH) classes which teach about exercise and nutrition or Socialization To Enhance Participation and Support Sexuality (STEPS2) classes which teach about decision-making, sexual health and healthy relationships. All participants must be okay with doing either program since the toss of a coin will decide which class a participant will get. All classes take place once per week for 6 weeks for up to an hour on the computer (over Zoom or another video conferencing platform).
