Abstract: | African American women (n = 42) and European American women (n = 46) were queried regarding their comfort level discussing various sexual health topics with hypothetical counselors who
were varied by race (African American vs. European American) or counseling value (culturally sensitive vs. knowledgeable).
Contrary to hypotheses, European American participants were more comfortable with the knowledgeable African American counselor
and the culturally sensitive European American counselor, while African American women showed no preference. Implications
are discussed for improving sexual health counseling services for African American and European American women with consideration
of client sexual attitude and race of counselor in order to reduce disparities in sexual health. |
