HIV Prevention for Drug-Involved Offenders During Reentry is a study designed to address the prevalence of HIV/HCV/HBV within the community corrections offender population.  The study will examine the effectiveness of a HIV/HCV/HBV evention/intervention protocol and is designed to learn how it is integrated into community corrections.  The new approach to be investigated in this project is a multi-media prevention intervention utilizing an interactive DVD and workbook tailored to specific gender and ethnic groups and risk behaviors.  Also examined is the type of resistance the protocol meets from personnel implementing the program.  The study aims to:

  • Collect HIV, HCV and HBV risk behavior information.
  • Implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a newly refined
    HIV/HCV/HBV prevention/intervention protocol (the CJ Targeted Intervention).
  • Determine the relative effectiveness of the interventions when delivered by a certified HIV peer interventionist counselor.
  • Integrate HIV/HCV/HBV prevention into the post-release community supervision process. 
  • Examine how intervention delivery is affected by different organizational structures and orientations.
