What we've learned...

Fathers perceived barriers when talking about sex with their sons

1. Fathers lack of experience with talking about sex with their own fathers
2. Not knowing how to begin the conversations about sex
3. What conversations are appropriate specific to their sons age and understanding of sex
4. African-American Fathers' Perspectives on Facilitators and Barriers to Father-Son Sexual Health Communication
5. The Need for Parent-Adolescent Conversations About Racial Discrimination in HIV Prevention Interventions

The TALK can be utilized by mothers

We encourage mothers to leverage the information in this mobile application to join in the discussion with fathers or begin the conversations with their sons.

Although, our primary focus is on black fathers, mothers can leverage the content to 1) build healthy relationships with their sons, and 2) empower their sons to make healthy sexual health decisions and have a positive racial identity.
