“…Women stress that a treatment environment that is safe for themselves and their children promotes therapeutic effects (Lewis, 2004). Other environmental characteristics, such as comfort, size, privacy, location, and attractiveness, have a small but demonstrable influence on women's engagement in treatment (Grosenick & Hatmaker, 2000).…”

“…The studies of Grosenick and Hatmaker (2000a) and Nelson-Zlupko et al (1996) were qualitative studies with results suggesting that women perceive a women-only program to be more beneficial than a mixed-sex program because it was easier for them to discuss issues such as children, sexuality, prostitution, and sexual/physical abuse. These studies also suggested that a women-only program reduced sexual harassment.…”

“…Grosenick and Hatmaker (2000a) and Nelson-Zlupko et al (1996) surveyed women's perceptions instead of actually measuring the actual behaviors targeted. Ravndal and Vaglum (1994) included only six women in the mixed-sex group and four in the women-only group, making generalization difficult.…”

“…Moreover, women report a preference for female-only groups in drug treatment as they allow discussion of sensitive topics in a safe environment (Grosenick & Hatmaker, 2000). The risk of sexual acquisition of HCV for HIV negative women is extremely low.…”

An uncontrolled, feasibility study of a group intervention to reduce hepatitis C transmission risk behaviors and increase transmission knowledge among women who inject drugs AbstractAims. This study aimed to develop and test the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness of a 3-session psychosocial group intervention to reduce hepatitis C risk behaviours and increase hepatitis C transmission knowledge among women who inject drugs in five European cities/towns.Methods. An uncontrolled, field effectiveness study of a psychosocial group intervention. Hepatitis C virus transmission knowledge, sexual and drug risk behaviours and depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline and one-month post-intervention. Intention-to-treat analyses were conducted. Findings. One-month post-intervention, a significant increase was reported in hepatitis C virus transmission knowledge and in the number of new and unused needles/syringes used to inject.There were significant reductions in the sharing of spoons/containers for mixing that had been used by someone else, sharing of filters, cookers, spoons or water with someone who was hepatitis C positive and the use of alcohol swabs following injection.Conclusions.The intervention showed promising results in reducing some hepatitis C injecting risk behaviors and increasing hepatitis C transmission knowledge among women who inject drugs. These preliminary findings suggest that it is feasible to deliver the intervention in drug treatment settings, and that the intervention was acceptable to both participants and staff.
