为了测试文化靶向性获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)预防项目对少数族裔街头吸毒者的效果,669名非裔美国人和波多黎各吸毒者被分配接受国家药物滥用研究所(NIDA)标准干预或文化能力增强干预。标准干预是一个两期的教育项目,而非裔美国人和波多黎各人的强化干预都以一种文化上合适的方式提供了额外的艾滋病信息。虽然以贝尔风险指数衡量的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)风险行为有所下降,但干预措施之间没有显著性差异。然而,参加药物治疗计划的参与者在艾滋病毒风险行为方面表现出更大的降低。如果文化干预专注于让参与者接受药物治疗,可能会带来更好的结果。
To test the efficacy of culturally targeted acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention programs on ethnic minority street drug users, 669 African-American and Puerto Rican drug users were assigned to receive either the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) standard intervention or a culturally competent enhanced intervention in a quasi-experimental study. The standard intervention was a two-session educational program, while both the African-American and Puerto Rican enhanced interventions provided additional AIDS information in a culturally appropriate fashion. Although human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors, as measured by Bell's risk indices, decreased, there were no meaningful significant differences between interventions. However, participants who went into drug treatment programs showed greater reduction in HIV risk behavior. Cultural interventions may provide better outcome if they concentrate on getting participants into drug treatment.
