Research Summary reviews the effectiveness of prevention
interventions conducted throughout the United States and
designed to serve heterosexual African American communities.
It focuses on the key elements of interventions proven
effective in terms of behavioral change. A standard set
of inclusion and exclusion criteria was developed, and
information was extracted from a wide range of sources
in order to complete the research synthesis on available
outcome studies. A total of 46 studies of the highest
methodological quality are included in the analysis. |
