一项对166项艾滋病毒预防干预措施的荟萃分析测试了关于专家、非专业社区成员以及其他相似和不同的人作为变革推动者的影响的理论预测。总体而言，专家干预者比非专业社区成员产生更大的行为变化，干预者和接受者之间的人口统计学和行为相似性促进了行为变化。同样重要的是，各种来源的疗效在不同群体之间存在差异，特别是在地位和/或权力较低的人群中。这些发现支持这样的假设，即未获授权的人群对干预者的特征更敏感，这些干预者可以促进各种资源的获取。此外，他们建议有必要确保提供来自不同人口和行为背景的卫生专业人员。
A meta-analysis of 166 HIV-prevention interventions tested theoretical predictions about the effects of experts, lay community members, and similar and dissimilar others, as agents of change. In general, expert interventionists produced greater behavior change than lay community members, and the demographic and behavioral similarity between the interventionist and the recipients facilitated behavioral change. Equally importantly, there were differences across groups in the efficacy of various sources, especially among populations of low status and/or power. These findings support the hypothesis that unempowered populations are more sensitive to characteristics of the interventionists who can facilitate access to various resources. In addition, they suggest the need to ensure the availability of health professionals from diverse demographic and behavioral backgrounds.
