The Black Youth Project, funded by the Ford Foundation, the University of Chicago, and NORC, released its findings on February 1, 2007 in the form of a report and a press release on the University of Chicago’s news office website.  The release received wide coverage.  NORC provided funding for the study through its Center for Excellence in Survey Research.  NORC interviewed more than 1,590 black, white and Hispanic youth nationwide between the ages of 15 and 25 to ask them about their sexual behaviors and attitudes, about their views on social and cultural issues, and their opinions on government and politics, as well as other topics.  In-depth interviews were conducted with about 40 black youths who completed the survey.  The study was covered by USA Today, the Chicago Sun Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Associated Press (on Salon.com), and the University of Chicago Chronicle.
