 AB    College students are engaging in high rates of behavior related to risk
       of infection from Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other sexually
       transmitted diseases (STDs). A cognitive-behavioral skills training
       program for heterosexual college females focused on sexual assertiveness
       skills and the reduction of risk-related behaviors was designed and
       evaluated compared with an education-only program. Participants
       completed pre-intervention, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up
       assessments of: (a) HIV/STD-related knowledge and beliefs; (b) sexual,
       alcohol, and drug-related behaviors; and (c) sexual assertiveness
       role-plays. Skills training participants compared to education-only
       participants scored higher on sexual assertiveness skills, specific
       knowledge of HIV infection, and self-efficacy to perform lower risk
       sexual behaviors and reported a reduction in risk-related behaviors at
       post-intervention and follow-up assessments. The effectiveness of
       behavioral skills in HIV risk-reduction programs for college students is
       discussed.
