Brief summary

African American adolescent females are more likely to have sex at an early age, to have older sex partners that have had multiple sexual experiences, and are less likely to use a condom than their white counterparts. Lack of sexual assertiveness is a factor in the risky sex behaviors of young African American women. African American girls at the greatest risk for contracting HIV are the ones that report that their partners could convince them to have sex and report trouble communicating their wishes related to sex. Thus far no intervention has addressed the disparate rate of HIV infection in young African American girls. This study is unique in promoting increases in racial pride as a component of empowerment to help African American girls self-protect against HIV. The study has the potential to empower young African American girls to delay sex initiation or reduce risky sex behaviors and thus reduce their risk of contracting HIV.

Detailed description

This is a longitudinal intervention study with a study condition intervention and a control condition intervention. Potential participants will be invited to a recruitment meeting. If they choose to participate, they will be asked to sign informed consent or assent. There are 4 data collections for moms and girls - 1 after recruitment but before the start of the intervention, 1 at the end of the intervention (after the girls 12 week intervention), 1 three months after the end of the intervention (about 6 months after recruitment), and the final data collection 9 months after the end of the intervention (about 12 months from recruitment). Girls are asked to attend 12 group intervention sessions of about 2 hours each, once weekly, and then a final termination session that is followed by a celebration session to which their mothers are invited and then an evaluation session. Moms are asked to participate in 3 one hour education sessions over the 12 weeks that their daughters are in the weekly sessions, the celebration with their daughters, and then their evaluation session. Moms will also be asked to give their daughter empowering messages 5-7 times/week and girls asked to receive them. Finally, moms will be asked to receive calls from the study team once per month or 1 year to be asked about the empowering messages they have been sending their daughters.

Interventions

Population: Analyses were performed after multiple imputation for missing data. Number at 12 months before imputation were n=46 for Risky sex prevention and n=51 for Health behaviors.
