St. Lawrence, Janet S.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v63 n2 p221-37 Apr 1995
Randomly assigned 246 African American adolescents either to an educational program or to an 8-week intervention that combined education with behavior skills training. Results indicate that, compared with the education program, youth in behavioral skills training lowered their infection risk to a greater degree, maintained risk reduction changes better, and showed other improvements.
