HIV/STD Safer Sex Skills Groups for Women in Drug Treatment Programs - 1

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Behavior Therapy

• Registration Number: NCT00084188
• Lead Sponsor: New York State Psychiatric Institute

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at a program for women in drug abuse treatment designed to reduce Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Sexually Transmitted Disease (HIV/STD) risk behaviors and reduce unprotected sexual risk behavior.

Detailed Description

The proposed trial is intended to test the effectiveness of a proven, manual driven, five-session safer sexual skills building group (SSB) intervention (Schilling et al., 1991; El Bassel and Schilling, 1992) for female patients in MMTP or in drug-free outpatient treatment. The effects of SSB will be compared to a standard group HIV education session (HE).

This study uses a 2-group, randomized, parallel-group design to compare a five-session safer sexual skills building group to a single 60-min HIV education session (control condition). The control condition is designed to standardize and simulate the usual care at community clinics.
