abstract="This evaluation study reports the effects of a combined alcohol-use and sex education intervention program on the knowledge, attitudes, and risk-taking behaviors among college-attending Hispanic and other minority young adults. A random sample of Hispanic, Black, and other racial minority college students aged 18-24 was selected to participate in an intervention study from 2014 to 2016 at a minority-serving institution (MSI) in South Texas. <br><br>RESULTS show that the combined intervention program has significantly increased minority young adults' awareness of risks associated with unprotected sex, safe-sex negotiation skills, and HIV knowledge. Moreover, the combined intervention program has also decreased minority young adults' past-30-day use of alcohol. These results support the assertion that a combined intervention program can serve as an important strategy to help prevent the risk of HIV/STD transmission among college attending Hispanic and racial minority young adults in South Texas.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
