- Description
- This thesis describes the development and evaluation of a theory and evidence based intervention program to promote safer sex practices in African-Caribbean minority groups in the Netherlands. The program is aimed at women with the purpose to empower them by letting them discuss relationship status, sexuality, negotiation with partners, risks of unsafe sex, and teenage and unwanted pregnancies. With the aid of health educators and hostesses from the peer groups women were recruited to come to home-parties to take part in the discussions.
