The purpose of the study was to test the efficacy of an HIV prevention intervention to encourage effective parenting and communication between mothers and their 6- to 12-year-old children. The overall goal of the program was to involve mothers in HIV prevention efforts for their children. Three hundred six predominantly African American mothers and their children participated. Mothers attending the intervention were more likely to discuss sexuality-related topics and to state that they intended to discuss sexuality issues with their children at younger ages than did mothers in the control group. The study demonstrates that providing mothers with information and skills can increase their awareness of the need to provide age-appropriate sexuality education to their children, including specific information about HIV and its health consequences, and to encourage their children to adopt behaviors that reduce their chances of contracting HIV.
