AB OBJECTIVE--To evaluate the efficacy of a community-based social skills
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention intervention to enhance
consistent condom use. DESIGN--A randomized, single-blind controlled
trial. SETTING--Bayview-Hunter's Point neighborhood of San Francisco,
Calif, a predominantly African-American community that is economically
disadvantaged. PARTICIPANTS--A sample of 128 sexually active,
heterosexual, African-American women 18 through 29 years of age was
recruited using street outreach techniques. Participants completed a
structured baseline interview; 100 women (78.1%) completed 3-month
follow-up interviews. INTERVENTION--Women randomized to the social
skills intervention completed five sessions that emphasized ethnic and
gender pride, HIV risk-reduction information, sexual self-control,
sexual assertiveness and communication skills, proper condom use skills,
and developing partner norms supportive of consistent condom use. Women
randomized to the HIV education condition participated in a single
session that provided HIV risk-reduction information. Women randomized
to the delayed HIV education control condition received no HIV
risk-reduction information until all follow-up interviews were
completed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Consistent condom use, HIV
risk-reduction knowledge, sexual self-control, sexual assertiveness,
sexual communication, and partner norms supportive of consistent condom
use. RESULTS--Compared with the delayed HIV education control condition,
women in the social skills intervention demonstrated increased
consistent condom use (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence
interval [CI], 1.03 to 4.15; P = .04), greater sexual self-control
(adjusted OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.00 to 3.60; P = .05), greater sexual
communication (adjusted OR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.67 to 10.01; P = .002),
greater sexual assertiveness (adjusted OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.27; P
= .05), and increased partners' adoption of norms supporting consistent
condom use (adjusted OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.08 to 3.87; P = .03). No
statistically significant differences in outcome variables were observed
between the HIV education condition relative to the delayed HIV
education control condition. CONCLUSION--Community-based HIV
risk-reduction programs that are gender relevant and culturally
sensitive and provide social skills training can effectively enhance
consistent condom use.
