AB The prevention of HIV transmission is a priority encompassed in current
substance abuse prevention strategy development. However, the complexity
of developing messages for substance abuse prevention, and coupling them
with HIV prevention messages is extraordinary. The difficulty stems from
the stigma attached to AIDS, the need for a particular developmental
focus in HIV/AIDS prevention messages, the moral debate over AIDS, and
the danger of providing too complex a message to individuals who need
simple and effective information that will influence behavior. To
address the complexity of developing effective prevention messages in
the context of substance abuse prevention, it has been necessary to gain
a detailed appreciation of the specific cultural beliefs related to
HIV/AIDS and substance abuse in the communities to be targeted. Cultural
specificity, as well as, more easily understood cultural sensitivity is
needed to develop effective, credible prevention messages. Along with a
description of the processes for developing messages, examples of both
effective and discarded messages will be provided.
