The original PRS efficacy review, including studies published between 1988 and 1996, identified 24 evidence-based behavioral interventions. These interventions were summarized in the
Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness (CDC, 1999) [1]. Refer to Review findings for more details about the original and updated findings. This original review was based on the
Compendium criteria. Since then PRS strengthened its criteria for identifying evidence-based, individual- and group-level behavioral interventions. More details about these criteria can be found at
Efficacy criteria.
Half of the 24 HIV behavioral interventions that were identified in the original
Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness using the less rigorous
Compendium criteria meet either the
current best-evidence criteria or the
current promising-evidence criteria.
There are 8 of the original 24 Compendium interventions that do not meet the current criteria for best- or promising-evidence,
most commonly due to low retention rates or small analytical sample sizes. These ILIs and GLIs are listed below, and most fit in Tier III of the
Tiers of Evidence Framework.
CDC-funded programs using
DEBIs
that among the 8 ILIs/GLIs not meeting the best-evidence or promising-evidence criteria can continue implementing these interventions for the time being. Agencies that are planning to implement a new ILI,
GLI, or CLI are encouraged to select an intervention from among the
best-evidence or
promising-evidence ILI,
GLI, and CLI interventions.
