“…However, young people who were involved in seropositive participant and attitudinal discussion 19 interventions have revealed more important behavioral changes than role play group. In this sense, our findings have not confirmed the relevant effectiveness of role play in past studies 28 . Therefore, according to IMB model, our results would support the relevance of motivational determinants to achieve and maintain preventive behavior 22 .…”

What Works Well in HIV Prevention Among Spanish Young People? An Analysis of Differential Effectiveness Among Six Intervention Techniques

The AIDS epidemic remains a concern of public health among young people and adolescents. Prevention programs have revealed diverse deficiencies to attain their main goal: preventing risky behaviors. This experimental study evaluates the differential effectiveness of six intervention techniques for preventing HIV/AIDS based on Informational-Motivational-Behavioral Model (talk, website, attitudinal discussion, participation of a seropositive person, fear induction and role play). 239 Spanish young people took part in an experimental design to evaluate six intervention techniques and a non-intervention condition, through changes in their knowledge, attitudes and protective sex behavior. Our findings support a general effectiveness of preventive intervention techniques comparing non-intervention. In particular, the motivational techniques reveal more effectiveness for these Spanish young people. Therefore, it is required identifying a differential impact of the intervention techniques when implementing HIV behavioral interventions.

“…According to our modified DB scoring system, the quality of the 76 intervention studies ranged from 15 to 29 with a mean of 22.44. Following a previously published DB rating system, 19 sixty-three (83 %) of the studies were rated as very good (>20), 12 (16 %) as good (16)(17)(18)(19), and only 1 (1 %) as fair (11)(12)(13)(14)(15); no study was rated poor (≤10). In linear regression analysis, a borderline significant linear trend of increasing quality over time was observed (r=0.11; p=0.075).…”

[10][11][12][13][14] This review builds upon previous work by including interventions targeting a range of at-risk minorities as well as those evaluated in non-randomized trials, using a standardized metric to assess the quality of each study. Further, our review differs by limiting to interventions conducted directly within or linked to a clinical setting.…”

HIV Prevention Interventions to Reduce Racial Disparities in the United States: A Systematic Review

et al. 2012

Racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS in the United States despite advances in prevention methodologies. The goal of this study was to systematically review the past 30 years of HIV prevention interventions addressing racial disparities. We conducted electronic searches of Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane Review of Clinical Trials databases, supplemented by manual searches and expert review. Studies published before June 5, 2011 were eligible. Prevention interventions that included over 50 % racial/ethnic minority participants or sub-analysis by race/ethnicity, measured condom use only or condom use plus incident sexually transmitted infections or HIV as outcomes, and were affiliated with a health clinic were included in the review. We stratified the included articles by target population and intervention modality. Reviewers independently and systematically extracted all studies using the Downs and Black checklist for quality assessment; authors cross-checked 20 % of extractions. Seventy-six studies were included in the final analysis. The mean DB score was 22.44 – high compared to previously published means. Most of the studies were randomized controlled trials (87 %) and included a majority of African-American participants (83 %). No interventions were designed specifically to reduce disparities in HIV acquisition between populations. Additionally, few interventions targeted men who have sex with men or utilized HIV as a primary outcome. Interventions that combined skills training and cultural or interactive engagement of participants were superior to those depending on didactic messaging. The scope of this review was limited by the exclusion of non-clinic based interventions and intermediate risk endpoints. Interactive, skills-based sessions may be effective in preventing HIV acquisition in racial and ethnic minorities, but further research into interventions tailored to specific sub-populations, such as men who have sex with men, is warranted.

“…Wingood led the focus of Connely's TGP on powerlessness of AA women in sexual decision making [44][45][46]66]. Within sexual scripts of the AA women, there is a social standard where the power in the sexual relationship favors the male and inconsistent condom use is attributed to low sexual relationship power [16,49,51,53,59,60,65,[67][68][69][70][71], supporting a dynamic where the female is vulnerable to decisions made by her partner [51,64]. By making concerted efforts to better understand these social standards, researchers are better equipped to recognize diverse effects of social support and the vital role it plays in conceptualizing the influential power of the male gender on sexual risk among AA women [59,63].…”
