吸毒罪犯感染艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染的比率很高。迄今为止，毒品法庭方案中的罪犯的艾滋病毒/性传播感染预防需求一直被忽视。这项多方法研究采用访谈来评估毒品法庭专业人员对将减少艾滋病毒风险干预纳入向毒品法庭参与者提供的服务的必要性的看法。然后，235名毒品法庭参与者完成了调查，以评估他们的性风险行为是否证实了这种干预的必要性。该调查还评估了人口统计学特征、进入项目前的药物使用、艾滋病毒知识和安全套态度。在毒品法庭程序和性风险行为的持续时间之间的关系也进行了研究。在毒品法庭计划的发展和提供艾滋病毒风险降低干预措施的影响进行了讨论。
Drug abusing offenders have high rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI). To date, the HIV/STI prevention needs of offenders in drug court programs have been ignored. This multi-method study employed interviews to assess drug court professionals’ perceptions of the need for an HIV risk reduction intervention to be integrated into the services provided to drug court participants. Then, surveys were completed by 235 drug court participants to assess whether their sexual risk behaviors affirmed the need for such an intervention. The survey also assessed demographic characteristics, drug use prior to program entry, HIV knowledge, and condom attitudes. The relationship between duration in the drug court program and sexual risk behavior was also examined. Implications for the development and delivery of HIV risk reduction interventions within drug court programs are discussed.
