“…Implementing culturally tailored interventions may improve African American women’s health outcomes as well. 95 Overall, strategies that support multisectorial partnerships at federal, state, and local levels may maximize the probability of implementing successful programs. 96 Sexual and reproductive health equity, based on evaluation data of interventions and demonstration projects, can be achieved with a commitment to effectively address racism and other underlying social determinants that promote health disparities.…”

African American women are disproportionately affected by multiple sexual and reproductive health conditions compared with women of other races/ethnicities. Research suggests that social determinants of health, including poverty, unemployment, and limited education, contribute to health disparities. However, racism is a probable underlying determinant of these social conditions. This article uses a socioecological model to describe racism and its impact on African American women’s sexual and reproductive health. Although similar models have been used for specific infectious and chronic diseases, they have not described how the historical underpinnings of racism affect current sexual and reproductive health outcomes among African American women. We propose a socioecological model that demonstrates how social determinants grounded in racism affect individual behaviors and interpersonal relationships, which may contribute to sexual and reproductive health outcomes. This model provides a perspective to understand how these unique contextual experiences are intertwined with the daily lived experiences of African American women and how they are potentially linked to poor sexual and reproductive health outcomes. The model also presents an opportunity to increase dialog and research among public health practitioners and encourages them to consider the role of these contextual experiences and supportive data when developing prevention interventions. Considerations address the provision of opportunities to promote health equity by reducing the effects of racism and improving African American women’s sexual and reproductive health.

“…Accordingly, Wyatt’s Sexual Health Model (2009) and other experts maintain that HIV behavioral interventions that ignore the complex set of historical, environmental, and cultural factors that influence sexual behaviors are less effective than interventions that integrate culture and cultural values into behavior interventions (Airhihuhbuwa, Okoror, Shefer, Brown, et al, 2009; Lipscomb, 2002; Nobles, Goddard, & Gilbert, 2009; Wyatt, 2009). …”

Real Men Are Safe (REMAS) was effective at reducing the number of unprotected sexual occasions for men in substance abuse treatment compared to an HIV education control intervention. Utilizing a modified Delphi process, modules from REMAS were compared to similar-content modules from other CDC-approved, culturally tailored HIV prevention interventions. Utilizing ratings and recommendations obtained from an independent expert panel, REMAS was subsequently revised to be more culturally adapted for an ethnically diverse group of men. Ratings suggested REMAS was culturally fair, but that in certain areas the culturally tailored interventions were more in tune with African American and Hispanic men. Revisions to REMAS include an added focus on how culture, social norms, and upbringing affect a man’s sexual behavior and relationships.

“…It is vital to continue to advance African-centered social work, so that new scholarship can be developed reinforcing its powerful influence on finding solutions and creating new thinking (El-Bassel et al, 2010;Graham, 1999;Harvey & Coleman, 1997;Harvey & Rauch, 1997;Hatcher, 2010;Martin & Martin, 2003;Nobles,Goddard, & Gilbert, 2009;Ntseane, 2011;Piert, 2007;Prather et al, 2006;Schiele, 2010;Sherr, 2006;White, 2004). In preparing for this Special Issue, it became clear that there was a dearth of scholarship advancing this critical perspective in the social work literature.…”
