Life stressors, mastery, and perceived partner engagement in HIV-Risk behavior
The relationships among level of personal mastery, economic stress, number of sexual partners, pregnancy status, and perceived partner engagement in HIV-risk behaviors (i.e., intravenous drug use, imprisonment, and sex with other partners) were studied in a sample of 1069 single, inner-city women. African American and European Americans were equally represented. We predicted that greater economic stress, a lower sense of personal mastery, and mor…
Proximal and Distal Predictors of Aids Risk Behaviors among Inner-city African American and European American Women
AIDS risk behavior and attitudes towards safer sex were studied in a sample of 666 African American and 626 European American women. Condom use, AIDS-related knowledge, risk perception, self-efficacy beliefs, attitudes and perceived partner attitudes, and an assertive coping style were analyzed with regard to mean differences and predictive power in both ethnic groups. Compared to European American women, African American women had less knowledge…
Ambiguity of monogamy as a safer-sex goal among single, pregnant, inner-city women
We examined the ambiguity of monogamy as a safer-sex goal in a sample of young, inner- city women ( N = 447), of whom 58 percent were African- American and 42 percent European-American. It was our premise that women may be misperceiving and underestimating their risk due to differences in their definition and beliefs about monogamy, and thus are not changing their behavior. When compared to long-term monogamous women (self-reporting one partner i…
Resource Loss, Resource Gain, and Communal Coping During Pregnancy Among Women with Multiple Roles
We investigated stress, coping, and employment status in 92, mostly European American pregnant women. Conservation of Resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll, 1988, 1989) was applied as a specification of role-quality theory to examine the stressful influences of women's multiple roles. Women's resource loss predicted psychological distress better than either their resource gains or their employment status (i.e., multiple versus single roles). Full-time …
Marriage, Intimate Support and Depression during Pregnancy
We examined the influence of stress, intimate support and marital status on postpartum depression among 189 African American and European American, inner-city women. We selected women in three common categories: (1) married, (2) cohabitating with partner, and (3) romantically involved, but not cohabitating. Women were interviewed on two occasions during pregnancy and seven to nine weeks following delivery. Women who were not married and did not l…
The empowerment of women
We discuss the process underlying the success of an HIV-prevention project for young, inner-city women. The intervention was based on the concepts of empowerment and culturally sensitive skill building. Four critical points relevant to the translation of HIV prevention knowledge into behavioral change among the sample are examined: (1) integrating the important issues of the participants' lives into the HIV prevention program, (2) utilizing a gro…
