AIDS video education is a major mode of providing information about the spread and prevention of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Very little has been written about the need for culturally salient messages in increasing the acquisition and retention of HIV/AIDS prevention information, even though there is considerable agreement that limited culturally sensitive information is reaching African-American youth. This investigation sought to ascertain the impact of a culturally similar AIDS video on the acquisition of AIDS knowledge and endorsement of HIV/AIDS prevention beliefs. This study randomly assigned classes of African-American teenagers to one of two treatment groups: culturally similar video (CSV) AIDS education and culturally dissimilar video (CDV) AIDS education. Results suggest that the CSV group demonstrated significant improvement in pre- to post- AIDS knowledge scores compared to the CDV group (using ANCOVA procedures). The intervention was not significant in demonstrating change in beliefs about prevention. Implications for the development of HIV/AIDS prevention programs for inner-city African-American youth are discussed.

The climate of racial hostility in American society remains one of the most difficult obstacles for families of color to overcome. As African Americans and other families of color raise their children to become healthy, wealthy, and wise, many feel compelled to prepare them ...

Community based AIDS prevention programming and research in minority neighborhoods are growing. The AIDS epidemic has demoralized many minority communities and has added to enormously stressing social conditions. Obstacles to effective AIDS prevention programming must be removed before stable, accessible, and culturally relevant services can be provided. A pilot study was conducted to identify the obstacles to AIDS research or intervention in ethnic minority neighborhoods. Twenty-nine administrators and counselors from Community Based Organizations completed questionnaires concerning reasons for entering the field of AIDS prevention, enjoyment of work, hopefulness towards AIDS efforts, priority of AIDS funding, and opinions about most and least helpful prevention efforts in minority communities. Barriers identified as most problematic include insufficient funds, lack of culturally relevant materials, denial of the epidemic in minority communities, distrust of majority culture institutions, and myths/beliefs regarding AIDS contraction, transmission, and origin. Future research ideas are identified to improve culturally relevant AIDS prevention interventions in ethnocultural neighborhoods.

This study explored the relationship between adolescent reports of the level of kinship support they experience as members of an extended family network and racial socialization beliefs. A large grupofAfricanAmericanadolescents(n = 229) was administered the Scale ofRacial SocializationforAdolescents (SORS-A), the Kinship Social Support Scale (KSS), and a question regarding the amount of parental communication about racism. MANOVA results indicate significant

Video education is the most popular and effective medium for informing the adolescent population. This study investigated the impact of a culturally relevant HIV/AIDS video education. One hundred and ninety-four African-American teenagers were assigned to either a culturally sensitive or culturally dissimilar video education intervention. Results indicate that both interventions were effective in increasing AIDS knowledge scores. An interaction effect was found between levels of perceived AIDS risk knowledge and participation in the culturally sensitive intervention (CSV). Only the CSV intervention was effective with adolescents who claimed to "know a lot" about AIDS (e.g., "Know-It-All" subgroup). Students in both conditions who were worried about getting AIDS demonstrated higher AIDS risk knowledge at post-assessment. This study provides further evidence of within-ethnicity diversity among African-American youth and for developing culture- and subgroup-specific HIV/AIDS education.
