Providing detailed information on structural HIV prevention
interventions, this book is intended for health care practitioners
and researchers to plan, implement, and evaluate such interventions
in their own communities. As defined by the CDC, structural
interventions focus on the physical, social, cultural, political,
economic, legal, and/or policy aspects of the environment. Designed
to reach a large number of individuals, structural interventions
usually occur across entire communities, cities, or countries. As a
result, the resources required to initiate structural interventions
can far exceed those required for smaller-scale behavioral
programs. However, changes from structural interventions have the
potential to last over time, even after the programs have ended,
resulting in effective use of public and private prevention
resources. Because the reach of structural interventions is
typically larger than that of individual- or group-focused
interventions (for example, the 100% Condom Use Program, which was
implemented countrywide in Thailand), their influence may be
equally-if not more-significant.This book is a resource for health
practitioners, educators, and researchers who seek HIV/AIDS
structural prevention programs that have been shown to be effective
in their regions or for their target populations (e.g. injection
drug users, commercial sex workers, or the general public). With
extensive case studies, the book classifies interventions according
to the desired outcomes (specific behavior or policy changes) so
that the reader may focus on examples of programs with similar
goals and target populations to their own. Addresses the
quintessential public health ethical dilemma regarding which types
of environmental changes should be mandatory via legislation and
which should be voluntary, promoted via programmatic, practice, and
policy change.
