May 17, 2018 updated by: Nilda Peragallo Montano, University of Miami
The study evaluates the effectiveness of SEPA (Salud, Educacion, Prevencion y Autocuidado; Health, Education, Prevention and Self-Care) to increase HIV prevention behaviors and to reduce the incidence of STIs for Hispanic women when delivered in a real-world setting by community agency personnel. The study recruits Hispanic women between the ages of 18 and 50 who are sexually active and are randomized to either SEPA or a Wait-List Control condition.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Wait List Control
Experimental: SEPA III Intervention
SEPA brings together two important theoretical perspectives that will be effective and sustainable for HIV/AIDS prevention among Hispanic women in an inner city environment. The content and learning strategies of SEPA are based on the social cognitive theory and of HIV/AIDS prevention that prior research has shown to be the most effective in increasing HIV/AIDS prevention behaviors, modified to take into account the special needs of Hispanic women related to gender inequality and cultural values and practices. SEPA's conceptual framework integrates the Social Cognitive Model of behavioral change with Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed that guides the delivery and contextual tailoring.
