Abstract

To compare computer-delivered to therapist-delivered HIV/AIDS education among opioid-dependent, injection drug-users (IDUs). We randomly assigned IDUs to receive either computer-based or counselor-delivered HIV/AIDS education. Participants who received the computer-based intervention learned significantly more information about HIV prevention, retained significantly more information at a 3-month follow-up, liked the teaching medium significantly more, and requested additional information about HIV/AIDS at the end of the intervention with greater frequency than did the comparison group. Individuals in both conditions reported significant reductions in HIV risk behavior. Results demonstrated that computer-delivered HIV/AIDS education may provide an innovative and efficacious intervention for IDUs.
