Computer technology-based interventions (CBIs) represent a promising area for HIV prevention behavioral intervention research. Such programs are a compelling prevention option given their potential for broad reach, customized content, and low cost delivery. The purpose of the current article is to provide a review of the state of the literature on CBIs. First, we define CBIs in HIV prevention and highlight the many advantages of such interventions. Next, we provide an overview of what is currently known regarding the efficacy of CBIs in HIV prevention, focusing on two recent meta-analyses of this literature. Finally, we propose an agenda for future directions for research in the area of CBIs, using the RE-AIM model as an organizing guide. We conclude that with the continued growth of computer technologies, opportunities to apply such technologies in HIV prevention will continue to blossom. Further research is greatly needed to advance an understanding of not only how and under what circumstances CBIs can be efficacious, but also how the reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of such programs in clinical and community settings can be achieved.
基于计算机技术的干预措施(CBIs)是艾滋病病毒预防行为干预研究中一个很有前景的领域。鉴于此类项目具有广泛传播、内容定制化和低成本交付的潜力,它们是一种极具吸引力的预防选择。本文的目的是对关于CBIs的文献现状进行综述。首先,我们对艾滋病病毒预防中的CBIs进行定义,并强调此类干预措施的诸多优势。接下来,我们概述目前已知的CBIs在艾滋病病毒预防方面的效果,重点关注该领域最近的两项荟萃分析。最后,我们以RE-AIM模型作为组织指南,提出CBIs领域未来研究方向的议程。我们得出结论,随着计算机技术的持续发展,将此类技术应用于艾滋病病毒预防的机会将不断涌现。不仅迫切需要进一步研究以增进对CBIs如何以及在何种情况下能够有效的理解,还需要研究如何在临床和社区环境中实现此类项目的推广、采用、实施和维持。
