AB It has been repeatedly reported that while risks associated with the
injecting behaviour of drug users has been reduced, no parallel changes
have been made in sexual risk behaviour. Counselling advice to clients
attending drug unit services has not focused sufficiently on the sexual
behaviour of this client group. The present study evaluates the impact
of a 4-day tailored training course on the counselling practices of two
teams of drug workers at a London hospital. The course was designed
following the experience and evaluation of a more general training
course on sexual issues, and included information, group discussions,
experiential learning and skills training. Results indicate that though
there were no significant behavioural changes, some attitudinal changes
have taken place; training appears to have increased the staff's
awareness of the importance of sexual counselling and reduced the
perceived difficulty of discussing certain specific sexual issues. The
implications of single-agency training courses are discussed and
recommendations are made for future training courses on the basis of the
findings of this study.
