A Faith-Based Integrated Substance Abuse and HIV Prevention Program for Rural African American Adolescents

University of Central Florida, School of Nursing, College of Health and Public Affairs, Orlando, Florida, ejbrown{at}mail.ucf.edu

Sean Wells

The purpose of this daylong workshop was to reach consensus about a prevention program to decrease risk and increase resiliency behaviors associated with substance abuse and HIV among rural adolescents in faith-based settings. The process and outcomes of the workshop are described. Workshop participants validated and prioritized risk and resiliency factors associated with substance abuse and HIV infection and used these to decide between potential prevention programs. A substance abuse (All Stars) program and an HIV (Be Proud! Be Responsible!) curriculum were selected and integrated. Consensus was reached that the implementation team should consist of adults and adolescents.

Key Words: rural • African Americans • adolescents • faith-based • HIV • drug abuse • substance abuse
