Primarily, the study seeks to consider the effectiveness of one-on-one peer intervention against group intervention moderated by a peer. The study is set up to interview former inmates as they re-enter society through parole or work release. The first phase of the study is to determine their history of drug use, before incarceration and during their time in a corrections facility. These respondents were chosen because of the particular danger faced by those re-entering to engage in "make up for lost time" behavior as access to illicit activity becomes more readily available. Additionally, this portion tests the respondents' knowledge of HIV/AIDS and their utilization of resources designed to improve their health. Following this survey, as well as a blood examination to determine whether they have the illnesses associated with the study, the subjects engaged in counseling based on the subgroup to which they had been randomly assigned. The control group received a standard one-hour, non-interactive CDC intervention, while the experimental group received the CJ-DATS Targeted Intervention. The intention was to determine if individual intervention is more effective, given the need for brief, effective interventions as a result of the large volume of the relevant population. Following the interventions, followup interviews were issued at 30 and 90 days. The intention was to determine not merely if there was an aggregate change in behavior as a result of the intervention, but furthermore, if the intervention led to a negative trend. Of particular concern to the outcome of the study and its analysis was the relative effectiveness of the peer interventions, as well as how officers and administration within the corrections and parole process might incorporate an attitude of public health into the process. The study is intended to determine the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS and HBV intervention protocols using the input of the corrections client population. A secondary goal is to investigate how intervention is integrated into the corrections community. The study utilizes four different factor groups, an individual and group control, and an individual and group treatment, through a four stage process measuring the activities of the former inmates before and during corrections and following the intervention. Respondents answer questionnaires on a variety of lifestyle and health topics and offer blood samples for disease testing. Variables in the study will include CJ-DATS Core Questions and Brief Symptoms Inventory, AIDS Health Belief and AIDS Risk Behavior Knowledge, and a series of other question sequences based on the experiences of the parolee and their interaction with the intervention.
