This project investigates the effectiveness of sex education in promoting safe sexual practices among young African American women aged 18-25. It addresses the higher rates of STDs within this population and examines sex education as a potential intervention. The project develops a logic model outlining how increased awareness of HIV prevention and family planning, achieved through sexual education workshops and distribution of brochures and pamphlets, can lead to improved safe sex practices and reduced unplanned pregnancies and STIs. It identifies factors hindering safe sex practices, including lack of sex education, negative views of condoms, misunderstandings of contraception, lack of trust, and feelings of invincibility. The project emphasizes the importance of addressing social misperceptions about barrier methods and highlights the role of childhood and ethnic-racial socialization in shaping safe sex behaviors. Evidence-based practices are incorporated to increase awareness and prevent STDs, aiming for both short-term awareness and long-term behavioral changes. Desklib provides access to this project along with a wide range of study resources for students.
