• Description:
  The multi-component Condom Promotion intervention is a small group level, skill-building intervention to reduce risky sex behaviors and STDs among young women. The single intervention session, delivered to groups of 8-12 women, emphasizes perceptions about sexuality, beliefs about STDs, and self-efficacy for condom use. To increase acceptance of sexuality and encourage planning for sexual activity women are shown a video depicting women’s’ sexuality in popular media. An informational presentation on symptoms, prevalence, and transmission of STDs is provided to increase perceived susceptibility to STDs, and a video is shown to alleviate apprehension associated with purchasing condoms. Women are taught how to properly use condoms, how to be assertive in discussing condom use with their partner, and how to deal with partner resistance to condoms. Through videos, presentations, role play, discussions and practice, women learn how to increase their sense of control over thei r sexual encounters, increase their STD awareness and perceived susceptibility, and increase self-efficacy for condom use.
