title: Using nominal technique to inform a sexual health program for black youth.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe how nominal group technique (NGT) was used to inform the development of a sexual health education program for black high school youth in the South.
  
  
  METHODS
  NGT was used with a community advisory board (CAB) to obtain information regarding the key  components of a sexual health program for youth in their community.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The CAB identified 5 priorities to include in the program: sex education, "keeping it real," responsibility/consequences, self-esteem, and female aggressiveness.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Findings can be useful in  modeling the successful use of NGT as a formative step toward developing health education programs for minority youth.
