PURPOSE: This study assessed African American adolescents' receptivity to an HIV-prevention curriculum enhanced by text messaging. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two focus groups were conducted with 14 African American adolescents regarding how an HIV-prevention curriculum could be enhanced for text messaging delivery. RESULTS: The adolescents were receptive to the idea of text messaging HIV-prevention information but wanted to receive a maximum of three messages per day during the hours of 4:00-6:00 p.m. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: By taking the findings of this study, nurses, other healthcare providers, and community-based organizations can adapt evidence-based interventions for text messaging delivery to individuals at high risk for HIV infection.
