Cost-benefit analysis of a population-based education program on the wise use of antibiotics

The Repeatability of a Single-Session Group to Promote Safe Sex Behavior in a Male At-Risk Population
One hundred and seventeen single-session STOP AIDS discussion groups with 771 participants were conducted over an 18-month period. Employing the AIDS Prevention Test as an outcome measure, it was demonstrated that 114 of the 117 groups produced significant and equivalent change in AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes about personal efficacy in controlling the spread of the AIDS epidemic, and intended safer sex behavior. Three-month follow-up indicat…
