This plan will focus on how to reduce new HIV infections among heterosexuals, homosexuals, IV drug users, infants/children, or adolescents in a culture of your choice.

In 1,000-1,500 words, do the following:

1. Choose a culture. Gain approval for the culture with your instructor before you begin this assignment.
2. Describe the characteristics of the culture for which you are planning a prevention program. What is their background? Historically do they have a positive or a negative relationship with health care/prevention? Why is it important to implement a prevention program for this culture? Why do you think this is an important culture to apply a prevention program to (risk factors/current rates of HIV)?
3. Describe several facets of your plan. What variables (e.g., education) will you choose to focus on and why (make sure your why connects directly to the background of your culture)? You should use research to support the variables chosen for your plan.
4. Using research and psychological principles to support your plan, discuss how you would make this plan successful in your chosen culture. Include information on how you would positively affect variables to promote success. Discuss how you would implement such a plan logistically (Who specifically would you target for your plan and why? Where your plan would be based? How would your plan be different from those that are currently out there? Do you anticipate any obstacles? How do you plan to overcome them?).
