Abstract	In this study, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of a cultural intervention for increasing cultural values and beliefs. Fifty-nine African American girls in early adolescence participated in a 15-session cultural program or in an activity comparison group. Measures of ethnic identity, gender roles, and relational aggression were administered at pretest and posttest. There were significant increases in ethnic identity and a marginally significant increase in androgynous gender roles for girls in the intervention group but not the comparison group. Findings also revealed that the intervention decreased relational aggression. Implications for early adolescent African American girls' participation in culturally enhanced prevention programs are discussed. (Author).
