AIDS and Intravenous Drug Use - Community Intervention & Prevention (Hardcover)

Because of the special needs of IV drug abusers and their sexual partners, an AIDS intervention program designed for this population should address multiple objectives and requires multilevel, highly integrated interventions. This book suggests that the intervention should be community-based to be effective in reaching the greatest numbers of the target population, particularly any hidden population such as the IV drug abuse treatment programs. Such interventions should be designed to: (a) prepare various members of the community for forthcoming AIDS preventitive efforts, (b) overcome barriers to high-risk-behaviour change, and (c) bring about high-risk behaviour change among those in the community.
