In a prospective two-group pilot study of a convenient sample of 156 young adults, we assessed improvement in HIV cognitive and transmission knowledge, hepatitis knowledge, and mental health at six-month follow-up. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed higher six-month scores in total HIV/AIDS knowledge, HIV/AIDS cognitive knowledge, HIV transmission knowledge and HBV and HCV knowledge at 6 months in the Hepatitis Health Promotion (HHP) group compared to the Art Messaging (AM) group. Moreover, homeless young participants who reported having significant others in their lives, and excellent or very good health did better than their counterparts. Youth who were attempting to get their lives together had higher scores for all types of knowledge except HBV. Hallucinogen users had significantly worse scores on all knowledge measures than non-users. Lastly, the HHP group revealed an improvement in psychological well-being compared to the AM group.
在一项针对 156 名年轻成年人的便利样本的前瞻性两组成员试点研究中，我们评估了在六个月随访时，HIV 认知和传播知识、肝炎知识和心理健康方面的改善情况。多线性回归分析显示，在六个月时，Hepatitis Health Promotion (HHP) 组在 HIV/AIDS 知识总量、HIV/AIDS 认知知识、HIV 传播知识和 HBV 和 HCV 知识方面的得分高于 Art Messaging (AM) 组。此外，报告生活中有重要他人、身体健康状况良好或非常好的无家可归的年轻参与者在所有类型的知识方面表现得更好。那些试图重新开始生活的年轻人在除 HBV 以外的所有知识方面的得分都更高。与非使用者相比，使用迷幻剂的人在所有知识测试中的得分都明显更低。最后，与 AM 组相比，HHP 组的心理健康状况有所改善。
