The TALK for Black Male Adolescent Sexual Health

The purpose of this study is to construct the first nurse-led web-based intervention, The TALK, a parent-centered, adolescent-involved health promotion intervention for Black male adolescents and young adults (AYA). Through the use of entertainment videos and educational modules, investigators will provide parents with resources and tools for communicating with their adolescents about sexual health and experiences of racial discrimination, and how these experiences impact sexual health.
