Four steps to select a DEBI

21

Two Questions Must Be Answered:

Which is the best behavioral intervention for

my target population?

Does my agency have the resources to

implement and maintain this behavioral

intervention?



Key DefinitionsMaking sure we are speaking the

same language

What is a Behavioral Intervention?

It is an activity or group of activities based on

behavioral theory, which are intended to

motivate individuals and/or their social groups

to change their behavior in order to reduce

their health risk.

24

What is DEBI?

The Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) project was designed to bring science-based behavioral HIV prevention interventions to community-based service providers and state and local health departments.

These packaged interventions are colloquially referred as “DEBIs”

Intervention Population

What are HIV Risk Behaviors?

Only those behaviors that can directly pass HIV from one person to another:

1. Unprotected anal and vaginal intercourse

2. Sharing unclean syringes and works

3. Maternal/child contact (pregnancy, delivery, breast feeding)

What are HIV Risk Factors?

Behaviors or circumstances that increase the

chances that HIV transmission will occur

Some Risk Factors are behavioral

determinants

34

What are Behavioral Determinants?

Things that have been proven to influence risk behaviors

Often have to change BEFORE actual risk behavior can change

Behavioral interventions are designed to change these determinants

35

Behavioral Determinants

Intention

Knowledge

Attitudes and beliefs

Perception of risk (and

others)

Self-efficacy

Skills

Values

Perceived norms

Social norms

Social support

daily language people use?

you don’t have symptoms”

How to Learn about DEBIs

Go to www.effectiveinterventions.org

Use the Behavior Change Logic Models

Review the Behavioral Determinants

Read the DEBI Fact Sheets

Also review: CDC procedural guidance & research

article on the intervention

Problem Statement“Black gay men and other Black MSM are at risk for HIV infection because of HIV risk behaviors, low levels of health-promoting behaviors, and the high background prevalence of HIV and STDs among Black MSM. A combination of social, cultural, and personal factors influences these behaviors”

Example: “Many Men Many Voices”Logic Model

57

- Lack of knowledge

- Low perception of risk

- Lack of skills

- Low self-efficacy

- Lack of social support

Group sessions involving

discussions and role plays about:

- Roles & risks of tops & bottoms

- STD & HIV interactions

- Harm reduction

- Partner communication

-Condom negotiation

-Increase knowledge of the

interaction between STDs & HIV (immediate)

-Perception of risk increases

(immediate)

- Reduced frequency of

unprotected anal sex (intermediate)

- HIV infections decrease (long

term)

How do I know that I have adequate capacity?

62

Agency Assessment Overview

Do we have the capacity to:

Plan and put in place new programs and services?

Recruit and retain and work with the intended intervention population?

Implement and maintain the DEBIs initially chosen from 1st Match?

63

Tools for Capacity Assessment

Agency Readiness Self-Assessment Tool

Program Implementation Plans

CDC’s Procedural Guidance for each DEBI

Fact Sheets, Starter Kit, Administrator’s Preview Guide, Technical Assistance Guide

Public Health Strategies (PHS) For HIV Prevention

Defining and Describing

74

What are Public Health Strategies?

Public Health Strategies are time tested protocols used by public health practitioners in the prevention, screening, diagnostic, or treatment processes. They are based on established principles of public health; including primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, and may include a range of activities.

75

Current Public Health Strategies for HIV Prevention

HIV Counseling, Testing and Referral (CTR)

Comprehensive Risk Counseling & Services (CRCS) for Uninfected/ PLWH

Rapid HIV Testing in Nonclinical Settings
