“…The intervention incorporates the finding that knowledge alone is a poor predictor of behavior (DiClemente, Lanier, Horan & Lodico, 1991). Change related to education-oriented prevention efforts tends to be short-lived (Leukefeld & Bukoski, 1991;Leukefeld, Battjes & Amsel, 1990) and, particularly with regard to sexual behaviors, relapse to previous risk levels is common (Ekstrand & Coates, 1990). The regression to high-risk behavior occurs despite long-term retention of the factual information presented in a prevention intervention (McCoy, Chitwood, Page, & McCoy, 1997).…”

Este artículo expone un enfoque individualizado a la prevención de VIH para las poblaciones de drogodependientes basado en la teoría (Prochask y DiClemente, 1986), incorpora una intervención realizada frecuentemente con los drogodependientes infectados por el VIH (Wechsberg et al, 1997), e incluye el concepto de Mapas Cognitivos como una estrategia para relacionar los pensamientos, los sentimientos y las expectativas con las conductas y acciones. Los mapas cognitivos representan los problemas como gráficos o planes con el objetivo de vincular los pensamientos con las consecuencias conductuales específicas. La intervención fue desarrollada en grupos piloto y fue probada inicialmente con drogodependientes que no se encontraban en tratamiento. La intervención se dirige al abuso de drogas y a las conductas sexuales insalubres de alto riesgo, identificados por los participantes en la intervención. AbstractThis article presents an individualized HIV prevention approach for drug abusers which is theoretically grounded (Prochaska& DiClemente, 1986), incorporates a commonly used HIV intervention for drug abusers (Wechsberg et al., 1997), and includes Thought Mapping as a way of relating thoughts, feelings, and expectations, to behaviors and actions. Thought Mapping is diagramming or mapping problems in a way to link thoughts to specific behavioral consequences. The intervention was developed using focus groups and initially piloted with drug abusers not in treatment. The intervention targets drug abuse and unhealthy or high-risk sexual behaviors, which are identified by those who participate in the intervention.

“…Threats to internal and external validity have consistently been identified as some of the most vexing methodological problems in prevention research (Leukefeld & Bukoski, 1991b;Stein, Bauman, & Ireys, 1991). Attrition and missing data are related issues which affect internal and external validity (Biglan & Ary, 1985;Biglan, Severson, Ary, Failer, Gallison, Thompson, Glasgold, & Lichtenstein, 1987;Hansen, Collins, Malotte, & Johnson, 1983).…”

Research: AnIn recent years increased attention has been directed to prevention research as a means of solving the multitude of complex social and health problems which confront individuals and their societies. Abuse of substances, behavioral dysfunctions, violence, emotional disorders, educational failures, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases are but a few examples of these most difficult problems. As our recogn#ion of the need ]br sound prevention strategies has grown, so has our sophistication in designing prevention research studies to evaluate the effectiveness of these new strategies. And that sophistication has brought new challenges, some of which are capable of stifling progress because of their complexity. This problem is certain to grow in importance as interventions with multiple components are used more frequently to meet the challenges of the complex social and health problems we face. This special issue evolved out of the recognition that prevention researchers are confronted by a myriad of difficult methodological issues which have inhibfled progress in this area. The articles in the issue present innovative methodological solutions designed to overcome these problems so the ,field can move forward.
