Correlates Associated With Willingness to Start Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) in Jackson, Mississippi
Black men who have sex with men have the greatest risk for human immunodeficiency virus infection. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective prevention method. However, uptake in this group is extremely low. Data from a sample of 225 human immunodeficiency virus-negative young black men who have sex with men residing in Jackson, Mississippi, were analyzed to examine correlates associated with willingness to start PrEP. Consistent cond…
Colorectal Cancer Screening in African American Hope VI Public Housing Residents
This study explores whether colorectal cancer screening outreach via home visits and follow-up calls is effective among public housing African American residents. It reports on the proportion of returned Fecal Immunochemical Test kits, on the characteristics of study participants, and on their primary reasons for returning the kit. By conducting home visits and follow-up calls, our colorectal cancer-screening outreach resulted in a higher Fecal I…
Condom Refusal and Young Black Men
Internalizing symptoms and safe sex intentions among adolescents in mental health treatment
A Partner-Related Risk Behavior Index to Identify People at Elevated Risk for Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity
Although prior studies have shown that sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making are related to sexual risk-taking, it is still unclear whether these personality traits operate independently or synergistically. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the joint contribution of these personality traits to HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk behaviors using data from a large sample of sexually active young adults (N = 2,386). Re…
Sexual Partnerships, Risk Behaviors, and Condom Use Among Low-Income Heterosexual African Americans
What is a planning model? An introduction to PRECEDE‐PROCEED
Planning models exist at a macroscopic level; they serve as an organizing framework for an entire health promotion effort aimed at fostering reduction in a given disease. A particularly useful, widely applied, and easy-to-follow example of a planning model is the PRECEDE-PROCEED planning model (PPM). The PPM is very much an ecological approach to health promotion. The PPM is actually quite simple to understand once one realizes that it embodies t…
Correlates of Correct Condom Use Among High-Risk African American Men Attending an Urban STD Clinic in the South
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess prevalence and correlates of correct condom use among high-risk African American men attending a publicly-funded sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic. Men 18 through 29 years of age and newly diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease were further assessed for study eligibility. Of 296 meeting eligibility criteria, 271 agreed to participate thereby yielding a participation rate of 91…
Application of the Attitude-Social Influence-Efficacy Model to Condom Use Among African-American STD Clinic Patients
A Brief, Clinic-Based, Safer Sex Intervention for Heterosexual African American Men Newly Diagnosed With an STD
Objective. We evaluated the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based, safer sex program administered by a lay health adviser for young heterosexual African American men newly diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Methods. Subsequent to STD diagnosis, eligible men (N = 266; aged 18–29 years) were randomized to either a personalized, single-session intervention (delivered by a lay health adviser) or standard of care. We conducted behavioral…
Witnessing community violence and health-risk behaviors among detained adolescents
This study examines whether witnessing community violence, in the 12 months prior to juvenile detention, is related and health-related outcomes in the 2 months prior to being detained among 550 youth. Participants answered survey questions using audio-computer assisted self-interviewing procedures, which assessed demographic, problem, and drug and sexual risk behaviors. Multiple logistic regression analyses, controlling for significant covariates…
Correlates of Unprotected Anal Sex with Casual Partners
Family influences and biologically confirmed sexually transmitted infections among detained adolescents
Data from a convenience sample of 476 detained adolescents were used to examine the relationship between family influences and biologically confirmed sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Results indicated that frequent parental monitoring was negatively associated with STD infection and that this relationship was modified by age, gender, and race. Findings suggest that STD prevention efforts for detained adolescents (particularly high-risk minor…
Rural and Nonrural African American High School Students and STD/HIV Sexual-Risk Behaviors
African American rural adolescents, particularly females, may have greater risk for STD/HIV infection than do their nonrural counterparts
Parent-adolescent communication and sexual risk behaviors among African American adolescent females
Parental Monitoring
CONTEXT: Contemporary threats to adolescents' health are primarily the consequence of risk behaviors and their related adverse outcomes. Identifying factors associated with adolescents' risk behaviors is critical for developing effective prevention strategies. A number of risk factors have been identified, including familial environment; however, few studies have examined the impact of parental monitoring. OBJECTIVE: To examine the influence of l…
