Abstract
Abstract Sexually transmitted infections among college students are a major public health concern and disproportionately impact minority students. The purpose of this study is to examine perceptions, expectations, and preferences for university-based interventions to increase condom negotiating skills among African American college women. One hundred women attending an urban minority institution participated in a qualitative study. A content data analysis allowed for emerging themes across the aggregated data collected from thirteen focus groups. Findings revealed several suggestions to reduce the stigma that cluster around three themes including condom distribution, sexual health education, and women-centered culturally competent health care. The burden of sexual and reproductive health challenges among young adults involves the need for effective prevention and interventions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
