AB BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Much of the development of educational programs
to reduce the risk of HIV transmission is based on a theoretical
framework or on uni-dimensional conceptualizations. The purpose of this
paper is to focus on a missing link in the study and development of
educational programs--the transformation of behavioral theories into
educational principles and to show that a multi-theoretical and
multi-dimensional formulations of education is useful in the development
of such preventive programs. METHODS: The methods used are theoretical
and qualitative analysis of educational programs to reduce the risk of
HIV transmission. These methods allow the identification of the explicit
and implicit behavioral theories underlying educational programs to
reduce the risk of HIV transmission. It is also possible to examine the
connections between the behavioral theories and the educational
principles determining the educational practices and to determine
whether the links are strong, weak, or missing. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
The results presented in this paper will focus on the presentation of
several general issues underlying educational efforts to reduce the risk
of HIV transmission: (1) the need to utilize both risk behavior
(individual) and at-risk (group) characterizations in preventive
efforts; (2) the issue of motivation in the development of educational
programs and the utilization of both primary and secondary motivations,
and integration egoistic and altruistic ones; (3) The need to go beyond
safer sex to responsible sex in order to increase the effectiveness of
the educational preventive programs. A graphic multi-dimensional model
will be presented in order to demonstrate its usefulness in the
derivation of the educational principles and methods.
