监狱和服刑人员是艾滋病预防干预的重要对象。囚犯往往有高危行为史，使他们处于感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的危险之中，这一人群的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染率往往要高得多。本研究的目的是评估监狱艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预措施的有效性，以改变对艾滋病毒预防的态度，支持艾滋病毒预防的规范，感知的行为控制（即，自我效能）的艾滋病毒预防行为，并打算从事艾滋病毒预防行为后释放。干预措施的另一个目标是鼓励囚犯成为艾滋病毒/艾滋病同伴教育者。干预似乎最成功的影响信念和行为有关的同伴教育和影响信念和使用避孕套的意图有些成功。分析还显示，不同人种/种族的有效性存在一些显著差异。结果进行了讨论，从研究和实践的角度来看，以监狱为基础的艾滋病毒预防工作。
Prisons and prison inmates present important targets for HIV/AIDS prevent ion interventions. Inmates often have histories of high-risk behavior that place them in danger of contracting HIV/AIDS, and rates of HIV/AIDS tend to be much higher in this population. The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a prison-based HIV/AIDS intervention to change attitudes toward HIV prevention, norms supporting HIV prevention, perceived behavioral control (i.e., self-efficacy) for HIV prevention behaviors, and intentions to engage in HIV prevention behaviors postrelease. The intervention also had the goal of encouraging inmates to become HIV/AIDS peer educators. The intervention appeared most successful at influencing beliefs and behaviors related to peer education and somewhat successful at influencing beliefs and intentions related to condom use. Analyses also showed some significant differences in effectiveness by race/ethnicity. Results are discussed from the perspectives of both research and practice with regard to prison-based HIV prevention efforts.
