Most of the HIVrelated research is targeted towards high-risk groups such as prostitutes, gays and substance abusers there is evidence that HIV/AIDS is increasing in college students particularly among African-American college students. The purpose of this study was to study predictors of safer sex behaviors among African-American college students using social cognitive theory. A crosssectional survey design was used in this study with valid and reliable subscales. All data were analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 16. For modeling the predictors of safer sex, stepwise multiple regression was used. Self-efficacy toward safer sex predicted 14.7% variance in safer sex.

Die meisten der HIV-in Verbindet die Forschung mit eine Gruppe wo dieses Risiko sehr groß ist die genannte \"Risiko-Gruppen\" wie Prostituierten, Homosexuellen. Die werden gezielt analysiert auf eine Gruppe die offenbar HIV/AIDS Risiko erhöht ist, besonders unter Afrikanisch-Amerikanischen Studenten. Der Zweck dieser Studie war, eine sicheres Geschlechtsverhaltens beizubringen unter den Afrikanisch-Amerikanischen Studenten, um dass zu studieren,aber auch die kognitive Sozialtheorie zu verwenden. Ein Modell- Design wurde indieser Studie entwickelt mit den gültigen und zuverlässigen Basis verwendet. Alle Daten wurden durch das statistische Paket für Sozialwissenschaften (SPSS), Version 16 analysiert. Für die Verwendung des Kommandoomen, welche dienen für einen sichereren Geschlechtsverkehr , wurden schrittweise mehrfache Rückbildung verwendet. Einen sichereren Geschlechtsverkehrwürde Praktiziert von 14.7% des Teilnehmer. Es würden Empfehlungen dargestellt für ein sicheres Geschlechtsverhaltens.  \nKey words: social cognitive theory, safer sex, HIV/AIDS, college students.  \n1. Introduction  \nSafer sex behaviors such as correct and consistent condom usage and a monogamous relationship are important for protection against STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) .The HIV/AIDS epidemic has reached alarming proportions. There were an estimated 1,147,697 cases diagnosed and reported to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at the end of 2004 [1] . When it comes to AfricanAmerican population, HIV/AIDS epidemic is a health crisis. In 2005, blacks accounted for 18,121 (49%) of the estimated 37,331 new HIV/AIDS diagnosis in 33 states .Furthermore, of the estimated 18,849 people under the age of 25 whose diagnosis of HIV/AIDS was made from 2001-2004, in 33 states with HIV reporting, 11,554 (61%) were black [2] . The risk for high risk heterosexual transmission is highest for African-American females (17.3%) in the age-group 13-24 while it is high (7.7%) for African-American males for the same age-group [3] . Hence we know that HIV/AIDS is a growing problem in younger age group as well as the adult ages. Promotion of safer sex behaviors such as correct and consistent condom usage along with monogamous relationships can lead to control of this epidemic.  \nSocial cognitive theory which explains human behavior as a triadic reciprocal relationship between behavior, environmental factors and personal factors, has found its applicability in various behaviors  \nReceived 24 February 2009, accepted 5 June 2009, published 24 June 2009  \nfor primary prevention such as smoking cessation programs and problem solving skills. It has also found its role in secondary prevention programs such as diabetes education programs and female condom use promotion programs in sexually transmitted","cbCaimgtlfOnhZId","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimgtlfOnhZId","pdf",84079,"English","# Introduction\n## Social cognitive theory and safer sex research background\n# Methods\n## Study design and sampling","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To identify predictors of safer sex behaviors among African-American college students using social cognitive theory.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"A cross-sectional survey design was used, employing valid and reliable subscales and analyzing data with SPSS version 16.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factor predicted safer sex behaviors and how much variance did it explain?\",\"answer\":\"Self-efficacy toward safer sex predicted 14.7% of the variance in safer sex behaviors.\"}]","Volume 2 - Number 2 - USING SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY TO PREDICT SAFER SEX BEHAVIORS IN AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS - Research summary | PDF",1792065230,15]
