Product Description:

African-American adolescent males are at increased risk for HIV, yet there are few sexual risk-reduction interventions targeting this population. Interventions that include mothers can influence parenting behaviors and in turn, reduce risky behaviors in adolescents. This study tests the efficacy of the MotherSon Health Promotion Project at increasing motherson communication about sexual risk reduction.
