DVD-based HIV/HCV Prevention Intervention for Drug-Involved Latino Criminal Justice Clients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Hepatitis C
In brief
The purpose of the study are the following: 1) Pilot test and conduct baseline and 3 month follow up assessments to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the DVD-based HIV/HCV intervention by randomly assigning 210 Latino corrections-involved, outpatient abuse treatment clients to either the experimental intervention or to a wait list control group; and 2) to evaluate both participant and interventionist acceptability of this novel DVD-based intervention. They study hypothesis are the following: 1. participants in the intervention condition will report greater reductions in sexual risk behaviors (e.g., unprotected sexual contact) from baseline to 3 month follow-up compared to the control group; 2. participants will report greater reductions in drug risk behaviors (e.g., sharing injection equipment, drug use during sex) from baseline to 3 month follow-up compared to the control group; 3. participants who report more HIV prevention information, motivation, and behavioral skills will report fewer sexual risk behaviors.
