For instance, many successful interventions have utilized motivational interviewing, peer driven case management and other behavioral change strategies (Goldstein et al. 2009; Farbring and Johnson 2008).
There are a variety of peer driven education interventions, some of which randomize assignment to the intervention group, and others which have been evaluated less rigorously (e.g., those comparing peer-driven interventions with traditional outreach interventions).
The rationale for peer driven interventions (PDIs) in HIV research is that both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HIV prevention information can be transmitted through HIV risk networks (e.g., drug use and sex networks).
In addition, changes in the self-reported use of HIV testing or drug treatment services over the 6 month period of follow up did not differ by recruitment approach, which supports prior findings from prospective HIV behavioral surveillance and intervention studies that compare peer driven interventions with traditional outreach interventions.
Furthermore, since the tactic is peer driven, it may empower individuals to take control of their behavior, develop a non-condom-based approach for communal, shared responsibility to prevent HIV transmission, and ultimately transform serosorting from a guessing game into a strategy based on objective evidence.
As Pride month ends, we must ask ourselves, and our communities: What does Pride mean for religious people when LGBTQ+ youth still attempt suicide at nearly five times the rate of their straight peers, driven in part by bullying and religious condemnation?
Based on the premise that drug users' social networks were maintained through sharing rituals, this peer-driven approach to disseminate educational information and reduce risk behaviors capitalizes and expands upon the norms that sustain these relationships.
The fear of being wiretapped by their own peers drove them to speak in code.
This research refers to the self-regulated learning strategies proposed by Pintrich (1999) in developing a multiple-choice Web-based assessment system, the Peer-Driven Assessment Module of the Web-based Assessment and Test Analysis system (PDA-WATA).
In the early hours of Friday 8 November, the moustachioed peer had driven the car to the Sussex town of Uckfield - some 16 miles north of Newhaven - and spoken to his friend, Susan Maxwell-Scott.
Since the grade-level peer measures are not driven by selective peer sorting [5], the similarity in their magnitudes with nominated friends under our preferred specification (IV with school-level fixed effects) signifies the importance of peer influence.
