The initiation and maintenance of substantial behaviour change is required to reduce the spread of HIV infection among the intravenous drug-using population. In order to ascertain the efficacy of interventions aimed at reducing HIV-related risk-taking behaviour among this population, valid and reliable (yet preferably short) instruments for measuring such behaviour are required. The HIV risk-taking behaviour scale (HRBS) is a brief 11-item interviewer-administered scale which examines the behaviour of intravenous drug users in relation to both injecting and sexual behaviour. This paper describes the construction of the scale, in addition to data evaluating its reliability and validity. Initial analyses indicate that the scale has satisfactory psychometric properties.
为减少艾滋病毒在静脉吸毒人群中的传播，需要启动并维持显著的行为改变。为确定旨在减少该人群中与艾滋病毒相关的冒险行为的干预措施的效果，需要有效且可靠（最好简短）的工具来衡量此类行为。艾滋病毒冒险行为量表（HRBS）是一个由访谈者实施的简短的11项量表，用于考察静脉吸毒者在注射行为和性行为方面的表现。本文除了介绍评估该量表信效度的数据外，还描述了量表的构建过程。初步分析表明，该量表具有令人满意的心理测量特性。
