Program Description: The SIHLE (Sisters Informing Healing Living and Empowering) intervention is a social-skills training intervention aimed at reducing HIV sexual risk behavior among African American teenage girls, ages 14 to 18. It consists of four 3-hour sessions delivered by 2 near-peer facilitators and an adult facilitator in a community-based setting. Near-peer facilitators are young women aged 18 to 21 who are more mature than the intervention target audience but share common experiences around popular culture. The 4 small-group sessions can accommodate 10 to 12 African American female adolescents. Based on an adaptation of the SISTA intervention, SIHLE emphasizes ethnic and gender pride and enhances awareness of HIV risk-reduction strategies such as abstaining from sex, using condoms consistently, and having fewer sex partners. The sessions are gender-specific and culturally relevant and include behavioral skills practice, group discussions, lectures, role-playing, and take-home exercises that are suggested as a means of including partners or obtaining additional practice in real-world contexts.
