Abstract

This meta-analysis (N = 110,092) assessed the efficacy of HIV-prevention interventions across samples with higher and lower concentrations of Latinos/Latin Americans. Findings indicated that groups with higher percents of Latinos increased condom and HIV-related knowledge to a lesser extent than groups with lower percents of Latinos/ Latin Americans. Moreover, groups with greater percents of Latinos/Latin Americans only benefited from intervention strategies that included threat-inducing arguments, whereas groups with lower percents of Latinos/Latin Americans benefited from numerous strategies. In addition, groups with greater percents of Latinos/Latin Americans increased condom use when interventions were conducted by a lay community member, whereas groups with lower percents of these groups increased condom use the most in response to experts. Not surprisingly, there were important differences among Latinos/Latin Americans with different education levels, different genders, and US/Latin American nationality.

The US Census Bureau (2003) defines Latino or Hispanic as those persons living in the US who indicate that their origin is Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or some other Hispanic origin. In this paper, “Latin background, origin, or ethnicity” includes Latin Americans and Latinos. Latin Americans are those living in Latin America.

For other general characteristics of the studies see Table 1.

There were other significant interactions that showed no significant simple effects for either one of or both groups (See Table 5).

The traditional gender role of Machismo can have positive aspects as well like protection of the women and family. Thus, further research should explore the potential of this trait of Machismo for HIV/AIDS prevention.
