Abstract: | We reviewed the literature to determine the effectiveness of HIV-related interventions in reducing HIV/AIDS stigma. Studies
selected had randomized controlled trial (RCT), pretest–posttest with a non-randomized control group, or pretest–posttest one group study designs in which HIV-related interventions were being evaluated, and in which HIV/AIDS stigma was one of the outcomes
being measured. A checklist was used to extract data from accepted studies, assess their internal validity, and overall quality.
Data were extracted from 19 studies, and 14 of these studies demonstrated effectiveness in reducing HIV/AIDS stigma. Only
2 of these 14 effective studies were considered good studies, based on quality, the extent to which the intervention focused
on reducing HIV/AIDS stigma, and the statistics reported to demonstrate effectiveness. Future studies to reduce HIV/AIDS stigma
could improve by designing interventions that pay greater attention to internal validity, use validated HIV/AIDS stigma instruments,
and achieve both statistical and public health significance. |
