Persons with SMI residing in community mental health center group homes received an educational intervention program on HIV/AIDS. As with virtually all such approaches provided for this population, the intervention was generalized from programs used with other populations, for example, users of intravenous drugs, gay men, and adolescents. Assessment of pre- and postintervention knowledge indicated no increase in accurate information. Further, consumers were initially uncertain regarding their risk for HIV infection; this attitude, too, remained unchanged. The research design employed did not compare persons with SMI with a normative sample receiving the same information, and assessed with the same instruments, limiting hypotheses about the generalizability of existing interventions. However, the data seems to suggest its potential inefficacy. Several findings are germane to effective educational intervention techniques.
居住在社区心理健康中心集体宿舍的严重精神疾病患者接受了一项关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的教育干预项目。与为该人群提供的几乎所有此类方法一样，该干预是从针对其他人群（例如静脉吸毒者、男同性恋者和青少年）使用的项目推广而来的。干预前后知识评估表明准确信息并未增加。此外，消费者最初对自己感染艾滋病毒的风险不确定；这种态度也没有改变。所采用的研究设计没有将严重精神疾病患者与接受相同信息并用相同工具进行评估的标准样本进行比较，限制了关于现有干预措施可推广性的假设。然而，数据似乎表明其可能无效。有几个发现与有效的教育干预技巧密切相关。
