Behavioral Interventions for Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

By Sevgi O. Aral, John M. Douglas, M.M. Aral, et al.

Book Overview

Before AIDS, the role of behavioral interventions in preventing transmission of sexually transmitted diseases was acknowledged in text books and journals but rarely promoted effectively in public health practice. Informed by a comprehensive knowledge of behavioral theory, intervention methods, and affected populations, this important book examines the central role of behavioral interventions in combating STDs. It provides a top-to-bottom review of current practice and offers real-world guidelines for program evaluation and improvement. This authoritative resource will surely influence public health practice and policy in an ever-evolving social climate.
