SISTA
SISTA: Sisters Informing Sisters on Topics about AIDS is group-level, gender and culturally relevant intervention designed to increase condom use with 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.
Target Population
The SISTA project specifically targets sexually active African-American women.
