受过培训的女性访谈员对多米尼加共和国 356 名 18-49 岁妇女团体成员进行了访谈。对 273 名有伴侣的女性的数据进行了分析。因变量是与艾滋病毒相关的谈判的衡量标准，它与自有资金的控制、妇女团体的参与水平以及曾经通过小额信贷计划获得贷款的关系进行了检查。研究结果表明，对自己资金的控制与艾滋病毒相关的谈判密切相关。然而，是否曾获得过贷款以及妇女团体的参与程度与艾滋病毒相关谈判并无显着相关性。以控制自己的钱来衡量的赋权可能会影响这种情况下有伴侣的妇女的艾滋病毒保护行为。
A sample of 356 members of women's groups, aged 18-49, in the Dominican Republic were interviewed by trained female interviewers. Data among 273 partnered women were analyzed. The dependent variable, a measure of HIV-related negotiation, was examined for associations with control of own money, level of women's group participation, and ever having received a loan through a micro-credit program. Findings suggest control of own money to be significantly associated with HIV-related negotiation. Ever having received a loan and level of women's group participation, however, were not significantly associated with HIV-related negotiation. Empowerment measured as control of own money may influence HIV protective behavior among partnered women in this setting.
