This evidence-based intervention is theoretically-driven by the Information - Motivation - Behavioral Skills (IMB) model. Participants receive information about HIV and risk reduction, increase readiness to reduce risk behaviors, and practice interpersonal and self-management skills to reduce sexual risk behaviors and increase condom use.

**Component 1:****Intervention Sessions.**The 4 sessions cover the following topics:● **Session 1:**Adolescents identify values and develop future time perspective, learn about HIV and risk reduction, analyze their own relationships and behaviors, and skills practice and role play with assertive communication and negotiation.● **Session 2:**Participants discuss the risks involved in sexual activity, learn about safer versus less safe behaviors, increase motivation to reduce risk, develop strategies for behavior change and communication through role plays, and identify a menu of choices that may lead to healthier sexual behavior including abstinence and condom use.● **Session 3:** Participants discuss the role of goal setting in changing behavior, receive information and practice correct condom use, build upon communication skills through video clip role plays and how to identify triggers than can lead to unsafe sexual behaviors.● **Session 4:**Adolescents identify long-term life goals, practice using assertive communication, review important risk reduction information from previous sessions, discuss plans and motivation for avoiding risks and achieving healthy behaviors.

**Component 2:** Booster Sessions. These 90-minute sessions are designed as "reunion" sessions for the groups and intended to reinforce program messages and skills.

HIP Teens is provided over four 2-hour sessions or eight 1-hour sessions, although some organizations have conducted two half day programs.   The two 90-minute booster sessions are administered in small groups at three and six months after the end of the intervention.

The most important characteristic of being a successful HIPTeens facilitator is a commitment to helping participants without being judgmental.  Trained facilitators implementing this program should be same gender and may be from a variety of ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds.

Purchasers of the program should contact the developer (Dianne Morrison-Beedy, Ph.D., R.N., W.H.N.P.-B.C., hip4change@gmail.com) for more information.

### 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.*
