Handbook of HIV Prevention

Preparing a reference more advanced than introductory textbooks and broader and more readily accessible than a review periodical, psychologists, educators, and others examine the major areas of HIV behavioral research at a level appropriate for graduate students and experienced researchers in public health, medicine, nursing, education, and the social and behavioral sciences. They begin by reviewing and critiquing theoretical models of HIV risk behaviors and the methods and procedures for conducting empirical field research. Then they identify, describe, and critique the findings from intervention studies, especially those demonstrated as most effective in actual prevention. Finally, they consider the implications of prevention research for technology transfer, cost-effectiveness, ethics, and directions of future research.Peterson, John L. is the author of 'Handbook of HIV Prevention' with ISBN 9780306462238 and ISBN 0306462230.
