title: Preliminary findings on a brief friendship-based HIV/STI intervention for urban African American youth: project ORE.
abstract: This study presents preliminary findings of a brief friendship-based HIV/STI prevention intervention for urban African American youth. Using a no-control design, we found that the program is feasible, acceptable, and demonstrates promise with regard to changes in HIV/STI-related knowledge, beliefs, social norms, and behavior.
