在这里,我们提出的结果,从一个同行领导的艾滋病毒预防干预的过程评估。2001年至2005年开展的避免风险伙伴关系培训活跃的吸毒者成为同伴健康倡导者,向他们的同伴提供减少危害的材料和信息。结果表明,PHAs积极开展减少危害的宣传活动,无论是在与工作人员合作时,还是在自己的时间。虽然PHAs在公共场所进行了大部分的外展活动,但他们也在艾滋病毒危险行为可能发生的关键时刻为吸毒者提供了减少伤害的材料。对于那些向PHAs寻求艾滋病毒预防材料的吸毒同伴来说,PHAs是可信和值得信赖的信息来源。有必要对成功的艾滋病毒预防干预措施进行过程评价,以了解这些干预措施如何以及为什么能够进一步完善干预措施。
Here we present results from a process evaluation of a peer-led HIV prevention intervention. The Risk Avoidance Partnership, conducted from 2001 to 2005, trained active drug users to be peer health advocates (PHAs) to provide harm reduction materials and information to their peers. Results indicate that PHAs actively conducted harm reduction outreach both when partnered with staff and on their own time. Although PHAs conducted most of their outreach in public locations, they also provided drug users with harm reduction materials at critical moments in places where HIV risky behaviors were likely to occur. PHAs were credible and trusted sources of information to their drug-using peers who sought PHAs out for HIV prevention materials. Process evaluations of successful HIV prevention interventions are necessary to understand how and why such interventions work for further intervention refinement.
