at Journal of Urban Health articles) Pamela Y. Collins, Pamela A. Geller, Sutherland Miller, Patricia Toro, and Ezra S. Susser. Journal of Urban Health: Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 78(1):162-175, 2001. This study introduces an innovative model - a talk show!- for a behavioral intervention addressing HIV prevention for a group of women with severe psychiatric illness. It demonstrates the effectiveness of a prevention program that includes correct usage of a female condom. While this "talk show" intervention is designed and evaluated for women with mental health concerns, the model may be applicable to other populations within the disability community. |
