This intervention builds peer resistance skills so that middle school Latinas are empowered to resist pressure from friends to engage in activities that put them at risk for early initiation of sexual intercourse. Forty-four low-income early adolescent Latinas were randomly assigned to play either DRAMARAMA or an attention control game (Wii Dancing with the Stars) after completing the classroom session component of the intervention. Results supported feasibility; demonstrated a significant game effect at posttest for peer resistance self-efficacy (F = 4.21, p< .05), but not at follow-up (F = 0.01, p = .92); and verified game appeal.
