The problem addressed:
A large proportion of the teenage population, specifically in New York City, engages in unprotected sex. As a result, many of them contract HIV/AIDS. Black and Latino youth living in certain areas of NYC are far more likely to contract these diseases than teenagers elsewhere in the city.
The solution being implemented:
A five session program spanning five weeks that was implemented during the final class period of the school day for students aged 12 and 13. The participants listened to various hip hop songs and were then asked questions designed to lead to a discussion about the messages contained in the songs and how those messages related to HIV/AIDS.
Three previously unknown words and their definitions:
morbidity - the prevalence of an illness in a certain location or area.
normative - something that is related to a norm
self-efficacy - belief in your ability to succeed given certain circumstances.
