Abstract

Increases in HIV prevalence indicate ongoing need for HIV interventions. A brief manualized intervention called TCU WaySafe, which addresses multiple HIV risks, was further evaluated to determine how it addressed individual's knowledge deficiencies in the assessed risks. The sample of 1256 offenders in 8 correctional substance abuse treatment programs participated either in treatment as usual (TAU) or TCU WaySafe. From multivariate multi-level analysis, WaySafe was more effective in improving the greatest need area, whether knowledge, motivation, or confidence regarding HIV risky behaviors. Findings underscored the importance of addressing HIV risk areas with greatest need for change and strengthens previous findings of the intervention's potential for individuals with varying HIV risks.

评估有针对性的短期艾滋病毒干预对监禁吸毒者的知识和态度的多重相互关联的艾滋病毒危险因素的影响。
艾滋病毒流行率的上升表明仍然需要采取艾滋病毒干预措施。进一步评估了一种名为TCU WaySafe的简短人工干预措施,以确定它如何解决个人在评估风险中的知识缺陷。在8个惩教药物滥用治疗项目中,1256名罪犯参加了常规治疗(TAU)或TCU WaySafe。从多变量多层次分析来看,WaySafe在改善最大需求领域(无论是对艾滋病毒危险行为的知识、动机还是信心)方面更有效。研究结果强调了解决最需要改变的艾滋病毒风险领域的重要性,并加强了先前关于干预措施对不同艾滋病毒风险个体的潜力的研究结果。
