Abstract

Objectives: Despite the disproportionately high rates of heterosexually transmitted HIV infection among US Blacks and ongoing need for effective inexpensive behavioral interventions, the use of sermons as an HIV prevention tool in Black churches has received little research attention. The Black church plays an important role in Black communities and is a potential ally in development and delivery of sexual risk prevention messages. The objective of this study was to examine Black pastors' thoughts about whether sermons should address issues related to heterosexual relationships – and the barriers and facilitators to discussing these topics in a sermon setting. Design: We conducted in-depth semi-structured, individual interviews among 39 pastors of Black churches in North Carolina and analyzed the interview data using thematic analysis strategies based on grounded theory. Results: Pastors expressed widely ranging opinions, especially about discussion of condom use, but generally agreed that sermons should discuss marriage, abstinence, monogamy, dating, and infidelity – behaviors that impact sexual networks and HIV transmission. The major barriers to incorporation of these subjects into sermons include the extent to which a concept undermines their religious beliefs and uncertainty about how to incorporate it. However, scriptural support for a prevention message and the pastor's perception that the message is relevant to the congregation facilitate incorporation of related topics into sermons. Conclusions: These findings have implications for the potential utility of sermons as an HIV prevention tool and suggest that it is possible for public health professionals and pastors of Black churches to form partnerships to develop messages that are consonant with pastors' religious convictions as well as public health recommendations.

Abstract

Purpose: Parents and caregivers play an important role in sexual socialization of youth, often serving as the primary source of information about sex. For African American rural youth who experience disparate rates of HIV/sexually transmitted infection, improving caregiver–youth communication about sexual topics may help to reduce risky behaviors. This study assessed the impact of an intervention to improve sexual topic communication.Design: A Preintervention–postintervention, quasi-experimental, controlled, and community-based trial.Setting: Intervention was in 2 rural North Carolina counties with comparison group in 3 adjacent counties.Subjects: Participants (n = 249) were parents, caregivers, or parental figures for African American youth aged 10 to 14.Intervention: Twelve-session curriculum for participating dyads.Measures: Audio computer-assisted self-interview to assess changes at 9 months from baseline in communication about general and sensitive sex topics and overall communication about sex.Analysis: Multivariable models were used to examine the differences between the changes in mean of scores for intervention and comparison groups.Results: Statistically significant differences in changes in mean scores for communication about general sex topics (P< .0001), communication about sensitive sex topics (P< .0001), and overall communication about sex (P< .0001) existed. Differences in change in mean scores remained significant after adjusting baseline scores and other variables in the multivariate models.Conclusions: In Teach One Reach One intervention, adult participants reported improved communication about sex, an important element to support risk reduction among youth in high-prevalence areas.

13. Experiences Growing Aroids from Seed.

Author

DuFran, Zach, Ellis, Danny, Holzer, Taylor, Miyano, Leland, Rule, Leslie, and Rogers, D. Christopher

Abstract

The article provides information on the germination of several Aroids genera from the seeds. It states that recreating the growth conditions of the plant is complicated as the microclimate variance occurs in all regions. It includes that Aroid seeds are viable for a short time therefore the moisture and humidity of the germinating seeds is important.
