“…The majority of studies on computerbased stress interventions compare these with no-treatment control conditions (Ritterband et al 2003). Comparing the efficacy of group-based versus computer-based interventions may be a worthwhile endeavor insofar as computer-based interventions may be more cost-effective and may also enhance compliance through their relative convenience and privacy (Schneider et al 1995).…”

Employee health and wellness are important for employees, their families, and their organizations. We review the literature on both stress management interventions in organizations and workplace health promotion and wellness programs, from the lens of primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions as well as the framework provided by the job demands-resources model (Bakker & Demerouti 2007). Stress management interventions tend to be ameliorative, often focusing on restoring resources that have been depleted by the work environment, whereas workplace health promotion and wellness programs tend to be more preventive, enhancing job and personal resources for all employees. There appears to be a trend toward incorporating stress management as a component of workplace wellness programs, with these programs taking more of a primary or secondary intervention approach than a tertiary approach. In addition, although organization-level interventions are still relatively rare, there is growing evidence that organizational interventions, especially when combined with individual-level interventions, can be quite effective in promoting a positive, healthy work environment. We conclude the review by offering suggestions for future research and some considerations for the design and evaluation of future interventions.

We describe development of SAHARA (SISTAS Accessing HIV/AIDS Resources At-a-click), an innovative HIV prevention program that uses a computer to deliver an updated version of SiSTA, a widely used, effective group-level HIV prevention intervention for African American women ages 18-29. Fidelity to SiSTA's core components was achieved using: (1) video clips featuring group discussions and modeling of appropriate sexual-and contraceptive-related behavior; and (2) interactive Flash modules facilitating cognitive rehearsal, providing learning experiences through games and quizzes, and providing opportunities for simulated role-play. A preliminary outcome study of SAHARA conducted at Planned Parenthood, Atlanta, found that SAHARA, when followed by a brief 20-minute wrap-up group session facilitated by a health educator, was effective in promoting consistent condom use for vaginal sex. We discuss the potential advantages and challenges of an intervention like SAHARA delivered by computer to an individual, versus one like SiSTA delivered by a health educator to a small group.HIV prevention efforts have slowed the spread of HIV both in the United States and worldwide and have saved many lives (Card et al., 2007; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2001; UNAIDS, 2008). Until an effective vaccine is developed, preventing transmission requires the deployment of effective, culturally competent prevention strategies that address one or more routes of transmission, including sex, injection drug use, parent-to-child transmission, and transmission in health care settings.In the past decade and a half, many interventions aimed at preventing the spread of HIV have been put into practice and found effective in changing HIV risk-related behavior. These include individual-level and small group-level interventions that seek to directly influence the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors of persons who participate in intervention activities; communitty-level interventions that influence the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors of an entire community both directly and indirectly, often through a focus on changing social norms; and structural interventions that indirectly influence risk behavior by effecting changes to policies, laws, organizational practices, or other structures that are related either to risk behaviors or to access to behavioral prevention information, tools, or services (Card,
