Abstract

Justice-involved people with substance use disorders are an at-risk population for health risk behaviors, particularly those related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections. Risk-reduction programs provide correctional agencies with a practical solution in to reducing HIV-related health risks in justice-involved populations. This study compared two interventions (in-prison, group-based WaySafe with self-adminstered, tablet-based StaySafe for people on probation) to determine whether one intervention was more effective than the other in terms of common outcomes. Multi-level analyses compared effect sizes from outcome studies testing WaySafe and StaySafe. Results showed the interventions had similar effects with regard to measures of HIV Knowledge, HIV Services and Testing, and Risk Reduction Skills. Collectively, this study suggests the StaySafe intervention can be used in situations where the more intensive WaySafe intervention is not feasible and affords correctional agencies the flexibility to implement the curriculum that best meets their organization’s goals and needs.

WaySafe和StaySafe干预中HIV知识、性风险降低、HIV服务和检测以及风险降低技能的比较

涉及司法的物质使用障碍患者是健康风险行为的高危人群，特别是与人类免疫缺陷病毒(艾滋病毒)和其他性传播感染有关的行为。减少风险方案为惩教机构提供了一个切实可行的解决方案，以减少与司法有关的人群中与艾滋病毒有关的健康风险。这项研究比较了两种干预措施(在监狱中，基于小组的WaySafe和自我管理的，基于平板电脑的StaySafe，用于缓刑人员)，以确定一种干预措施是否比另一种干预措施更有效。多层次分析比较了测试WaySafe和StaySafe的结果研究的效应大小。结果表明，干预措施在艾滋病毒知识、艾滋病毒服务和检测以及降低风险技能方面具有相似的效果。总的来说，这项研究表明，在更密集的WaySafe干预措施不可行的情况下，可以使用StaySafe干预措施，并为惩教机构提供灵活性，以实施最能满足其组织目标和需求的课程。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Drug Issues (JDI) was incorporated as a nonprofit entity in the State of Florida in 1971. In 1996, JDI was transferred to the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and the Richard L. Rachin Endowment was established to support its continued publication. Since its inception, JDI has been dedicated to providing a professional and scholarly forum centered on the national and international problems associated with drugs, especially illicit drugs. It is a refereed publication with international contributors and subscribers. As a leader in its field, JDI is an instrument widely used by research scholars, public policy analysts, and those involved in the day-to-day struggle against the problem of drug abuse.
