PROMISE

Effective Interventions

Peers Reaching Out and Modeling Intervention Strategies: This community-level intervention is based on several behavior change theories.

A community assessment process is conducted, peer advocates are recruited and trained from the target population, role model stories are written from interviews with the target population, and these stories are distributed along with other risk reduction materials to target audiences to help people move toward safer sex or risk reduction practices.

Community PROMISE can target any population, since it is created anew each time it is implemented in collaboration with the community. It is currently being developed for individuals living with HIV.
