The article focuses on the transfer of research-based HIV prevention interventions to community service providers. HIV prevention researchers and service providers can collaborate to develop interventions that not only are effective but can also be successfully implemented by service organizations. Behavioral research methods generally require that an intervention being tested in a controlled study be delivered consistently and in close fidelity to the protocol. In keeping with the emphasis on showing program effectiveness, community-based organizations (CBOs), AIDS service organizations, and other service providers are usually expected by their funding agencies to conduct HIV prevention interventions known to reduce HIV risk behavior, HIV incidence, or both. CBOs that undertake HIV prevention programs usually have a long history of providing services in their communities and a grassroots understanding of the populations they serve. The elements of an intervention can be defined as core, or critical, by virtue of behavioral science theory, experience in implementing the intervention, or a formal component analysis of its procedures. The objective of evaluating the effectiveness of HIV prevention approaches is to inform the development of interventions for the field. |
