ABSTRACT
Th e goal of the current project was to produce three HIV prevention interactive videos (IAVs), one for each of the highest risk ethnic groups (African American, White, and Latino) of young men who have sex with men (MSM), to reduce HIV risk taking. Th e overall structure and content of each of the videos was identical except that each of the videos was designed to be appropriate for each group. Pilot research and community advisory boards (CABS), which represented each of the ethnic groups, informed the culturally specifi c elements for each script (i.e., slang for sexual terms and drugs, proxemics, etc.) Th ese IAVs use a DVD platform, which allowed for greater interactivity (i.e., more choice points), more content, and higher quality content than had our prototype CD-ROM reported in Read et al. (2006).
