目的：比较阿片类药物依赖、注射吸毒者（IDUs）中计算机提供的艾滋病教育与治疗师提供的艾滋病教育。方法：我们随机分配注射吸毒者接受基于计算机或咨询师提供的艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育。结果如下：接受基于计算机的干预的参与者学到了更多关于艾滋病毒预防的信息，在3个月的随访中保留了更多的信息，更喜欢教学媒体，并在干预结束时要求更多关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的信息，其频率高于对照组。在这两种情况下的个人报告显着减少艾滋病毒的风险行为。结论：结果表明，计算机提供的艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育可以提供一个创新的和有效的干预注射吸毒者。
Objective: To compare computer-delivered to therapist-delivered HIV/AIDS education among opioid-dependent, injection drug-users (IDUs). Methods: We randomly assigned IDUs to receive either computer-based or counselor-delivered HIV/AIDS education. Results: Participants who received the computer-based intervention learned significantly more information about HIV prevention, retained significantly more information at a 3-month follow-up, liked the teaching medium significantly more, and requested additional information about HIV/AIDS at the end of the intervention with greater frequency than did the comparison group. Individuals in both conditions reported significant reductions in HIV risk behavior. Conclusions: Results demonstrated that computer-delivered HIV/ AIDS education may provide an innovative and efficacious intervention for IDUs.
