AB PURPOSE: To delineate several factors which are highly important in the
development of culturally sensitive preventive programs, and beyond it,
at both national and international levels. We will also try to analyze
largely neglected components of international cooperation and training
programs that can be utilized in training people to develop culturally
sensitive programs as well as cross-cultural bridging. METHODS:
Qualitative analysis methods were utilized to study the structure and
processes of cross-cultural, training and interventions programs in
national and international settings. Such studies are executed at
developmental as well as at the implementation stages and look at
contents, processes, structures as well as their interactions. The
programs studied are: (1) An international training program in the
design, implementation and evaluation of educational interventions to
reduce the risk of HIV infections (1990,1991). (2) An HIV reduction
program for immigrants from a developing country within a western
society (1991-92). (3) Sexual Health programs for immigrant populations
from Africa and East Europe in Israel (1987,1993-94). RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION: We were able to the identify unique factors in the
development of culturally specific and in international training and aid
efforts i.e.: (1) Mediation and cultural bridging are highly important
elements in the development of programs for unique groups within
multi-cultural settings, which go beyond the creation of culturally
sensitive programs, especially if the target group is a minority or
disadvantaged. They demand specific structural elements and training.
(2) The multi-cultural environment in international training programs,
can be structured to provide highly realistic, vicarious learning
experiences needed for the development and implementation of culturally
sensitive and cross-cultural programs. (3) A new term-outsight-is
defined to describe an essential contribution of experts, who are
external to the culture, in developing preventive programs and in
training programs of professionals in the field of HIV prevention.
