The 2008 Compendium has been updated as of May 2009 and now includes
63 evidence-based HIV behavioral interventions identified from the scientific literature published prior to June 2008.
The new interventions include
5 community-level interventions
(added on May
7, 2009)
and
9 individual- and group-level interventions
(added
on December 19, 2008 and May 7, 2009*). The 5 new
community-level interventions are:
Promising-Evidence Interventions:
The 9 new
individual-level and group-level interventions are:

The evidence-based interventions, listed in this 2008 Compendium, have been identified by PRS through a series of
efficacy reviews. These interventions represent the strongest HIV behavioral interventions in the literature to date that have been rigorously evaluated and have demonstrated efficacy in reducing HIV or STD incidence or HIV-related risk behaviors or promoting safer behaviors. Newly added evidence-based interventions are
listed below.
These evidence-based interventions are catalogued as either best-evidence or
promising-evidence. A complete listing of each catalogue is available below.
Best-Evidence Interventions
Promising-Evidence
Interventions
The current listings of best-evidence and promising-evidence interventions include individual-, group-, and community-level behavioral interventions for high-risk populations for which an evaluation study was published from 1988 through May 2008. The PRS project is continuously conducting the efficacy review to identify new evidence-based behavioral interventions. This website will be updated annually to provide timely information to the prevention field.
Other Interventions from the Original Compendium
Many interventions were identified through two earlier PRS efficacy reviews of the scientific literature between 1988 and 2000 (CDC, 1999[1]; Kay, 2003[17]). Interventions identified through these reviews had to satisfy the previous
Compendium criteria. These criteria have since been strengthened
since 2004 to reflect the progress in the field of HIV behavioral prevention research. A complete listing of the interventions identified in the original review can be found in the
Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness.
