title: The community-based participatory intervention effect of "HIV-RAAP".
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To design and test HIV-RAAP (HIV/AIDS Risk Reduction Among Heterosexually Active African American Men and Women: A Risk Reduction Prevention Intervention) a coeducational, culture- and gender-sensitive community-based participatory HIV risk reduction intervention.
  
  
  METHODS
  A community-based participatory research process included intervention development and implementation of a 7-session coeducational curriculum conducted over 7 consecutive weeks.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicated a significant intervention effect on reducing sexual behavior  risk (P=0.02), improving HIV risk knowledge (P=0.006), and increasing sexual partner conversations about HIV risk reduction (P= 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The HIV-RAAP intervention impacts key domains of heterosexual HIV transmission.
