SiHLE - Sisters, Informing, Healing, Living, Empowering - is a peer-led, group-level, social-skills training intervention designed to reduce sexual risk behaviors among African-American female teenagers who are at high risk of HIV. In addition to HIV prevention, the program addresses relationships, dating, and sexual health within the specific context of the female African-American teenage experience. The program draws upon both cultural and gender pride to give participants the skills and motivations to avoid HIV and other STDs.

The program was designed for and evaluated in community-based organizations and health clinics.

                        - Developing assertive communication skills to demonstrate care for their partners and to negotiate abstinence or safer sex behaviors (particularly condom use and involvement of partners in decision-making)
                        - Building proper condom use skills (including learning how to place a condom on a partner) and positive attitudes, norms and self-efficacy about consistent condom use
                        - Understanding of characteristics of healthy and unhealthy relationships and the triggers that make negotiating safer sex challenging for teens, and
                        - Empowerment and self-efficacy, based on cultural and gender pride

The program is delivered in four sessions that are each four hours long. The ideal group size is 10 to 12 participants with one adult and two peer facilitators.

The program must be delivered in community-based settings, not in school or during school hours.

The program requires the use of one adult and two peer facilitators, all of whom should be African American and female. Peer facilitators should be between 18- and 21-years-old who, ideally, have gone through the SiHLE program. There are specific roles for the adult and peer facilitators described in the facilitator's manual.

### Evidence by Outcome Domain and Study

#### Notes

*Some study entries may include more than one citation because each citation examines a different follow-up period from the same study sample, or because each citation examines a different set of outcome measures on the same study sample. A blank cell indicates the study did not examine any outcome measures within the particular outcome domain or the findings for the outcome measures within that domain did not meet the review evidence standards.*

*Information on evidence of effectiveness is available only for studies that received a high or moderate rating. Read the description of the review process for more information on how these programs are identified.*
