This study examined to what extent a women- and culturally-specific sexual risk reduction intervention resulted in a decline of new victimization intervention. Additionally, we sought to identify factors associated with new victimization, defined as victimization during the 6 months after enrollment in the study. Female African American drug users (N = 333, ages 18-59 years) completed questionnaires. Past victimization was a major predictor of new victimization. The likelihood of new victimization, however, declined significantly when compared to past victimization. Factors associated with victimization included enhanced intervention assignment, frequency of drug use, lifestyle factors such as criminal behavior, drug use in a public setting, and living in an unstable situation. Results indicate the need to incorporate strategies to reduce victimization in HIV/AIDS and other health-related prevention and intervention programs.
本研究考察了一项针对女性且具有文化特异性的性风险降低干预措施在多大程度上导致新的受害情况减少。此外,我们试图确定与新的受害情况相关的因素,新的受害情况定义为在研究入组后6个月内遭受的侵害。非裔美国女性吸毒者(N = 333,年龄在18 - 59岁之间)完成了问卷调查。过去的受害经历是新的受害情况的主要预测因素。然而,与过去的受害情况相比,新的受害情况的可能性显著下降。与受害情况相关的因素包括强化干预分配、吸毒频率、诸如犯罪行为等生活方式因素、在公共场所吸毒以及生活不稳定。结果表明,有必要在艾滋病毒/艾滋病及其他与健康相关的预防和干预项目中纳入减少受害情况的策略。
