Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI): Sistas Informing Sistas on Topics of AIDS (SISTA)
|
|
Description
|
The Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) project was designed to bring science-based, community- and group-level HIV prevention interventions to community-based service providers and state and local health departments. The goal is to enhance the capacity to implement effective interventions at the state and local levels, to reduce the spread of HIV and STDs, and to promote healthy behaviors.
The SISTA project is a group-level, gender- and culturally-relevant intervention designed to increase condom use among sexually-active African-American women. Five peer-led group sessions are conducted that focus on ethnic and gender pride, HIV knowledge and skills training around sexual risk reduction behaviors and decision-making. The intervention is based on Social Learning theory, as well as the theory of Gender and Power. |
