Informed by a comprehensive knowledge of behavioral theory, intervention methods, and affected populations, this important book examines the central role of behavioral interventions in combating STDs. It provides a top-to-bottom review of current practice and offers real-world guidelines for program evaluation and improvement. This authoritative resource will surely influence public health practice and policy in an ever-evolving social climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith A.
