Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this book is to examine the interrelationships among knowledge about the transmission of HIV/AIDS, condom use, drug use, history of sexually transmitted diseases, and other relevant factors that affect African-American males and females who engage in risky sexual behaviors. Another aim is to describe how these factors are differentially related to gender and the perceived susceptibility of being exposed to the AIDS virus and testing positive for AIDS. Data has been gathered from a young adult sample of African-American males and females. Information is presented in a readily accessible manner so the reader can understand the variability of risky sexual behaviors. The author offers factual information to draw conclusions that can be used to develop HIV/AIDS prevention programs specifically tailored for the African-American community. The first chapter provides an introduction, rationale, and overview of the study. Basic information about the prevalence of AIDS among various African-American populations are presented. Then, Johnson describes information about the subjects, measures of sexual behaviors, drug use, attitudes about the use of condoms, knowledge about AIDS, and perceived susceptibility of being exposed to HIV/AIDS. Next, Johnson describes the sexual attitudes and behaviors of African-American males and females who are currently involved with multiple partners and those who have been previously treated for sexually transmitted diseases. He then describes the characteristics of African-Americans with HIV/AIDS. The epilogue summarizes the major findings and presents suggestions for AIDS prevention activities for African-American young adults.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex on television has nearly doubled since 1998 while sexual risk and responsibly messages have decreased. During this time frame, television watching has become one of the most popular pastimes in the United States, especially among Black/African Americans. Black youth are more likely to report higher levels of satisfaction with television images and view characters as more realistic than the average youth. Here, we examine how viewing higher amounts of television affects certain sexual behaviors of Black female adolescents using data from the 2007 Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance Survey. Results indicate that the number of television hours viewed on an average school day was significantly related to initiating sexual intercourse before the age of 14, condom use, and contraceptive use to prevent pregnancy for all adolescent females in the sample. Though the number of television hours viewed on an average day was not significantly related to the sexual behaviors of Black adolescent females, this group was more likely to initiate sex before 14, report having 3 or more lifetime sexual partners, and more likely to report using condoms at last intercourse than their female counterparts in any other racial group. Black female adolescents who watched 5 or more hours of television, however, were almost four times more likely to report using any form of contraceptive to prevent pregnancy than their white counterparts. These findings suggest that the amount of television watched on an average school day does not influence the sexual behaviors of Black female adolescents in high school. More research is needed to determine the effect television has on Black female adolescents.

Book excerpt: This dissertation posits three main hypotheses: (1) violence exposure during adolescence will be associated with increased risky sexual behaviors among low-income, urban, African-American adolescent females; (2) having a positive maternal relationship will reduce these females’ risk of engaging in risky sexual behaviors; and (3) positive maternal relationships will moderate the association between violence exposure during adolescence and risky sexual behavior among low-income, urban, African-American adolescent females.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American college women are experiencing sex-related negative consequences (e.g., contracting sexually transmitted diseases or human immunodeficiency virus, having an unplanned pregnancy) at disproportionate rates in comparison to Caucasian college women. Furthermore, African American college women are likely engaging in risky sexual behaviors (e.g., unprotected anal, vaginal, oral sex) that may be placing them at a greater risk for experiencing sex-related negative consequences. Research suggests that increased alcohol consumption is predictive of more risky sexual behavior among college women. Additionally, sex-related alcohol expectancies, or beliefs about the effects of alcohol on sexual behavior, are positively associated with increased alcohol consumption and risky sexual behavior and therefore, may attenuate the association alcohol use has with risky sexual behaviors among African American college women. Because of the underrepresentation of African American college women in research examining the aforementioned factors, the purpose of the present study was to examine the link between sex-related alcohol expectancies (i.e., enhancement, sexual risk taking, disinhibition), alcohol consumption, and risky sexual behaviors exclusively among a sample of African American college women at a midsized Southern university. Multiple and hierarchical linear regression analyses yielded the following results: (a) enhancement sex-related alcohol expectancies predicted increased risky sexual behavior, (b) sex-related alcohol expectancies did not predict increased alcohol consumption and (c) did not moderate the relationship between alcohol consumption and risky sexual behaviors. Clinical and research implications will be discussed. --Page ii.

Book excerpt: The growing number of HIV infections among young black women is staggering and representative of a domestic, epidemiological crisis. Thus far, there is a paucity of HIV prevention programs whose specific focus encompasses the socio-cultural characteristics of African Americans. To address this shortcoming, a socio-cultural model of risk behavior was developed to examine factors associated with sexual risk behavior among young African American women using a cross-sectional survey design. A total of 51 female undergraduate college students were recruited from the Internet via the website Facebook.com and complete online survey items that included demographics, AIDS knowledge and attitudes, self-efficacy, sexual power, family communications, and sexual behavior. Multivariate linear regression analysis found that relationship power, specifically decision making control in relationship was a significant predictor of safe sex behavior. Furthermore, the multivariate linear regression analysis also demonstrated that peer support for safe sex practices was a significant predictor of condom use for this population of African American, female, college students. In conclusion, it appears that communication among peers and with male partners is the most salient factor in determining engagement in safe sex behavior for this population.

Book excerpt: Adolescent risky sexual behaviors such as early sexual debut, low rates of condom use, and high rates of partner change are associated with a number of negative health and social outcomes including contracting sexual transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Utilizing a sample of 529 African American adolescents, this study examines the contributions of parenting behaviors and family structure as factors associated with engagement in risky sexual behavior. Participants reported few differences in mother's parenting across family structures. While fathers and relatives provided greater responsiveness on average than stepfathers. Variation in parenting fully explained differences in risky sexual behavior for males. Yet family structure differences persisted for females, with females in mother step-father homes continually engaging in greater mean risky sexual behavior than those in mother-father households even after accounting for parental responsiveness and demandingness. Implications for prevention and intervention are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the impact of family structure and family context on risky sexual behavior among African-Americans. The research on adolescent sexual behavior finds that youth are more likely to engage in sexual activity at an earlier age and have more partners when they are not raised in two-parent households. This is a concern for African-Americans because they are less likely to live in two-parent families and are also more likely to be sexually active. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, we find that adolescents in cohabitating and step-parent households are more likely to engage in sexual activity and have more partners, compared to their counterparts in two-parent households. We also find differential effects by gender, with family structure and context having a stronger effect on young females. This is an important result because it shows the negative effects of family disruptions in the African-American community.
