Results: As predicted by the TPB, results showed attitude and subjective norms towards condoms were significantly associated with intentions to use condoms. Contrary to the TPB, perceived behavioral control was not significantly associated with intentions to use condoms. The moderation effect of masculine norms on intention to use condoms was not significant. Conclusion: Future prevention intervention programs should adopt a wide range of educational approaches to help increase condom use, including female condom use skills, and condom use negotiation skills, especially among those in long-term relationships. Also, recommendations from this study may help to develop more creative and effective prevention programs that aim to increase the likelihood of empowering urban African American adolescent girls to use condoms 100 percent of the time. Keywords: African American adolescent females, condom use, intentions, attitudes and beliefs, recurrent or repeat sexually transmitted infections, Theory of Planned Behavior.

"African-American females are the fastest growing HIV/AIDS population in the U.S. The best preventative measure after abstinence is condom usage. Although the importance of condom usage is widely publicized, it is not always adopted. In trying to identify ways to increase adolescents' condom usage, past research has shown that positive communication between parents/guardians and adolescents has increased their condom usage and caused condom usage to be more consistent. This pilot study explores the relationship between African-American adolescent females and parents/guardians and if open communication about sexual intercourse and contraceptive usage increases adolescent condom usage. Data have been collected from self-administered surveys as well as a focus group, constructed of African-American female adolescents, ages 15-16."--Abstract.
