 AB    Video education is the most popular and effective medium for informing
       the adolescent population. This study investigated the impact of a
       culturally relevant HIV/AIDS video education. One hundred and
       ninety-four African-American teenagers were assigned to either a
       culturally sensitive or culturally dissimilar video education
       intervention. Results indicate that both interventions were effective in
       increasing AIDS knowledge scores. An interaction effect was found
       between levels of perceived AIDS risk knowledge and participation in the
       culturally sensitive intervention (CSV). Only the CSV intervention was
       effective with adolescents who claimed to know a lot about AIDS (e.g.,
       Know-It-All subgroup). Students in both conditions who were worried
       about getting AIDS demonstrated higher AIDS risk knowledge at
       post-assessment. This study provides further evidence of
       within-ethnicity diversity among African-American youth and for
       developing culture- and subgroup-specific HIV/AIDS education.
