Abstract:
Objective To identify factors influencing behavioral changes among injection drug users(IDUs)by assessing the outcome of the Kunming Sunshine Homeland Project(SHP)in 2007,so as to design more effective and relevant interventions for HIV/AIDS prevention and control in China.Method Data obtained from SHP were analyzed by Logistic regression,in which the relationship between related factors and effectiveness of the interventions were examined.Results Based on Fishbein and Guinan’s hypothesis(1996),among the three factors,i.e.attitude,perceived behavioral norm and self-efficacy,the perceived behavioral norm was the most effective one to change IDUs’ behaviors.Conclusions In designing HIV/AIDS prevention and control projects targeted to IDUs,perceived behavioral norms should be given high priority in combination with other 2 factors,and the approaches applied should match with the objective of the designed project.
