AIDS prevention programs: a critical review.
A critical review of the content of those articles published during the 1990s in this Journal provides a diversity of views about the kinds of theoretical models and typologies that are applicable to HIV/AIDS educational interventions. It also suggests the crying need to focus more of these social and behavioral models in a cultural context. This article provides a brief overview of AIDS in the U.S. and international settings, a description of the complexity of application of social and behavioral change models in their present context, and a review of the three categories of articles which have been published in the Journal: dogma, dissent, and innovation.
