The objective was to test the procedures proposed for a main trial of a safer sex intervention for young people delivered by mobile phone text message (‘safetxt’). The safetxt intervention is designed to reduce sexually transmitted infection in young people by supporting them in using condoms, telling a partner about an infection and testing before unprotected sex with a new partner. The authors conclude that recruitment, randomisation, intervention delivery and follow-up were successful and a randomised controlled trial of the safetxt intervention is feasible.
