本研究比较了尼日利亚青少年和美国两个地理区域的非裔美国青少年对艾滋病预防、艾滋病相关知识和性行为的态度，以评估青少年之间的跨文化异同。这项研究是一系列程序化活动中的第一项，这些活动旨在适应美国为尼日利亚青年制定的降低风险干预措施。受试者（n=511）完成了艾滋病相关知识、对避孕套的态度、对艾滋病预防的态度、过去两个月的性行为、自我和反应效能以及感知脆弱性的自我报告。组间比较显示，与尼日利亚青少年相比，美国青少年知识更渊博，对预防和避孕套持更有利的态度，报告的性伴侣更多，无保护阴道性交的频率更高，性活跃的年龄也更晚。研究结果讨论了它们对将美国针对非裔美国青少年开发的降低风险干预措施转化为后来跨文化实施的发展中国家青少年的影响，这些国家迫切需要这种降低风险的努力。
Attitudes towards AIDS prevention, AIDS-related knowledge, and sexual behaviour of Nigerian adolescents and their African-American counterparts in two geographic regions of the United States were compared to assess cross-cultural similarities and differences between the adolescents. This study was conducted as the first in a programmatic sequence of activities leading toward the adaptation of a risk reduction intervention that was developed in the US for implementation with Nigerian youths. Subjects (n=511) completed self-report measures of AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes towards condoms, attitudes towards AIDS prevention, sexual behaviour over the past two months, self- and response efficacy, and perceived vulnerability. Between-group comparisons revealed that US adolescents were more knowledgeable, held more favourable attitudes towards prevention and toward condoms, reported more sex partners, engaged in higher frequencies of unprotected vaginal intercourse, and became sexually active at later age than Nigerian adolescents. The findings are discussed with respect to their implications for translating risk reduction interventions developed in the US for African-American adolescents for later cross-cultural implementation with adolescents in developing countries where such risk reduction efforts are urgently needed.
