“…Respondents also indicated their perceived personal estimate of risk for contracting the AIDS virus based on their behavior during the previous month. For individuals who knew or believed themselves to be HIV negative, responses were ranked along a 4-point scale ranging from "no risk" (1) to "a great deal of risk" (4). Those persons who were already HIV infected were given a score of 5 on the original variable.…”

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to identify factors predicting program attrition among participants in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk reduction trials. METHODS: Participants were gay/bisexual men and severely mentally ill adults recruited to take part in HIV risk reduction small-group interventions. Program completers were compared with participants who were assessed at baseline but then failed to attend any sessions. The health belief model provided a framework for selection of possible predictors of program attrition. RESULTS: Younger age was associated with early dropout in both samples. Other predictors among gay/bisexual men included involvement in an exclusive sexual relationship, minority ethnicity, injection drug use, and higher perceived severity of AIDS. Severely mentally ill dropouts were less knowledgeable about safer sex methods and more likely to hold positive outcome expectancies for condom use. CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of intervention effectiveness among vulnerable population segments is threatened if there is selective attrition. Better methods are needed to attract and maintain participation in HIV prevention programs. Alternatively, wider application of "intention to treat" analysis of intervention outcomes is recommended to minimize selection bias due to program dropout.

“…Early in the epidemic, policymakers identified promoting awareness as a priority global response to HIV, 1 and most national programs responded with information campaigns. 2 HIV-related HC efforts have evolved from straightforward media campaigns to encompass a range of communication activities seeking to influence behaviors associated with disease transmission 3,4 and characteristics of the broader social environment in which these behaviors are embedded, such as stigma 5,6 and gender norms. 7 Several factors complicate impact evaluation of HC interventions.…”

“…Lawrence et al, 1995). A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that although not all interventions have an effect on behavior, changes in risky behavior can occur as a result of well-designed interventions (see reviews by Academy for Educational Development, 1996;Holtgrave et al, 1995;Oakley, Fullerton, & Holland, 1995). A meta-analysis demonstrated that cognitivebehavioral HrV risk reduction interventions significantly reduce HIV risk behaviors with small to moderate effect sizes (Kalichman, Carey, & Johnson, 1996).…”

“…A number of other researchers in the HIV prevention arena have also emphasized that to be effective, behavioral interventions need to be population-specific (Becker, Rankin, & Rickel, 1998;Oakley et al, 1995). Thus, there seems to be fairly widespread agreement in the HIV prevention literature that behavioral interventions should be tailored to the specific population or audience for which they are intended.…”
