AB OBJECTIVES: Design and implement a methodology to correlate the level of
activity of a phased educational intervention with HIV incidence in a
defined population. METHODS: Geographic-specific rates of HIV infections
in U.S. Navy populations were determined for 1987-1993. Following an
initial needs assessment in 1991, an educational intervention was
initiated in 6 areas in 1992. Evaluations included a historical
comparison for each area and pair analysis approach between areas.
Assessment included quantitative and qualitative parameters measuring
training process (3), personnel commitment (3), reach statistics and
productivity (2), social diffusion (1), and modes of instructional media
utilized; as compared to annual, area HIV incidence. RESULTS: Initial
1993 results were used to evaluate 2 comparable Areas at 50% of planned
capacity: Area A was successful as defined by 7 of 9 education
parameters, and a decline in HIV incidence in males was noted relative
to baseline, (0.7 to 0.4/1000 tested, p < .01); Area B had 2 of 9
parameters defined as successful, and less of a decline in HIV incidence
noted (0.77 to 0.6/1000 tested, p = .15). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
Direct measurements of HIV incidence can be utilized to evaluate
educational interventions in selected populations. This approach will
assist in further development of definable measures, allowing detailed
appraisal of the HIV educational process. Additional 1993 results will
be presented for other Areas.
