This article descibes a quasi-experimental evaluation of a community-based, culturally and ecologically tailored HIV prevention for Mexican American female adolescents grounded in the AIDS risk reduction model. A total of 378 Mexican American female adolescents (mean age = 15.2) participated in either the nine-session SHERO's (a female-gendered version of the world hero) intervention or a single session information-only HIV prevention intervention. Assessment data were collected at pretest, and 2-month follow up. Significant improvements across all time points were revealed on measures of self-esteem, condom attitudes, beliefs regarding a woman's control of her sexuallity, beliefs regarding sexual assault, perceived peer norms, and HIV/AIDS and STI knowledge. At posttest SHERO's participants were more likely to carry condoms and to report abstaining from vaginal sex in the previous 2 months; and at 2-month follow up they reported using condoms more often in the precending 2 months and the development of community-based adolescents HIV prevention interventions that address culturally specific ecological factors.
