RationaleThe prevention of human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted diseases remains a significant global public health issue, especially among vulnerable populations.Aims and objectivesTo promote condom use skills among young urban African American men.MethodsAs a pilot study, a randomized controlled trial was conducted among 136 African American men aged 18–24 years recruited from urban communities in Chicago. Participants assigned to the intervention received 45–60 minutes of a one‐on‐one single‐session condom promotion program delivered by trained facilitators while those assigned to the attention‐matched comparison condition received a general health program. Longitudinally, 115 (85%) and 120 (88%) participants completed the 3‐month and 6‐month follow‐up surveys, respectively.ResultsOverall, the study results indicate that positive effects were observed from baseline to 6‐month follow‐up for intervention participants relative to comparison condition participants for prior condom use (1.23–1.82 versus 1.34–0.97); condom use intention (2.51–3.19 versus 2.69–2.21); perceived condom availability (3.44–3.72 versus 3.42–3.38); positive reasons to use condoms (2.82–3.08 versus 2.95–1.99); favourable condom use attitude (2.41–2.69 versus 2.49–1.95); barriers to condom use (1.33–0.79 versus 1.25–1.85); and negative condom use attitude (1.45–0.66 versus 1.33–1.39), respectively.ConclusionsWe conclude that a brief single‐session condom promotion program is effective in preventing high‐risk sexual behaviours among urban young adult African American men.
