AB Our objectives were to assess the effects of a psychoeducational (PE)
program designed to reduce HIV risk behaviors in recovering drug abusers
and to evaluate mediating variables associated with risk reduction as
described by the AIDS Risk Reduction Model (ARRM). Consecutive
admissions to a Department of Veterans Affairs drug dependence inpatient
treatment program (n = 152) were randomly assigned to PE or a standard
information (INFO) condition. PE involved a 6-hour small group
intervention designed to enhance knowledge and attitudes regarding HIV
prevention, improve skills in condom use and needle sterilization, and
modify high-risk sex- and drug-related behaviors. The INFO condition
involved presentation of audiovisual and printed HIV prevention material
with similar content. Following intervention, PE subjects showed
significantly enhanced self-efficacy, condom use skills, and sexual
communication skills relative to the INFO group. At 3-month follow-up,
the PE group showed significantly greater reductions on some measures of
sexual HIV risk behaviors relative to the INFO group. Hypotheses derived
from the ARRM regarding presumed relationships between positive changes
in mediating variables (e.g., self-efficacy and sexual communication)
and ultimate outcome variables (e.g., condom use) were supported.
