Be Proud! Be Responsible!

Be Proud! Be Responsible! is designed to decrease the frequency of risky sexual behavior and related HIV/STD infection among minority (African American, Latino) adolescents. Based on cognitive-behavior theory, the program uses group discussions, videos, games, brain-storming, experiential exercises, and skill-building activities to improve teens knowledge about HIV and STDs, and to increase self-efficacy and skills that might help to avoid risky sexual behavior (e.g., abstinence, condom use). The intervention includes six sessions, of 60-minute length, led by trained facilitators, but can also be implemented within a school setting as part of the curriculum of a required health education class. The program can be implemented in a six-day, two-day, or one-day format.
