Source of the Data
Cognitive-behavioral intervention to
reduce African American adolescents' risk
for HIV infection
Group EC was given a standard 2-hour
educational program
Group BST went through an 8 week
behavioral skills training program.
The Dependent Variables
• The log-transformed frequency of condomprotected sexual intercourse
• Measured before the intervention, at
posttest (8 weeks later), 6 weeks after
posttest, and 12 weeks after posttest.

Summary Statement, BST
• Adolescents in the behavioral skills
training group (n = 20) engaged in
significantly more condom-protected
intercourse six weeks after the training (M
= 18.80, s = 11.04) than prior to the
training (M = 13.45, s = 13.77), t(19) =
2.35, p = .030, d = .43.
Summary Statement, EC
• Adolescents in the educational control
group (n = 20) engaged in significantly
less condom-protected intercourse at the
six week followup (M = 8.60, s = 11.09)
than at pretest (M = 19.8, s = 21.87), t(19)
= 2.40, p = .027, d = .65.
