Abstract

Background

We examined the role of network communication about HIV-related topics in mediating the efficacy of a social network intervention on HIV seroconversion among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Ukraine, where Eastern Europe’s second-largest HIV epidemic is concentrated among PWID.

Methods

We used randomized controlled trial data from 1200 HIV-negative PWID (Ukraine; 2010–2012) in an inverse-odds weighted analysis to examine mediation by network communication.

Results

Network communication mediated 24 % (95 % CI= 19.22–29.38) of the intervention’s effect.

Conclusions

Integrating training to support network communication about additional HIV prevention resources could enhance the impact of social network HIV prevention interventions among PWID.

网络交流在社会网络干预对乌克兰注射吸毒者艾滋病毒血清转换的中介作用

背景我们研究了关于艾滋病相关主题的网络交流在调节社会网络干预对乌克兰注射吸毒者（PWID）艾滋病血清转换疗效中的作用，东欧第二大艾滋病疫情集中在乌克兰注射吸毒者中。方法我们使用来自 1200 名艾滋病阴性的注射吸毒者（乌克兰；2010-2012 年）的随机对照试验数据进行反比加权分析，以研究网络交流的调节作用。结果网络交流对干预效果的中介作用为 24% (95 % CI= 19.22-29.38)。结论通过培训支持网络交流额外的艾滋病预防资源，可以增强社会网络艾滋病预防干预措施对吸毒者的影响。

期刊介绍： Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
