Abstract:
This study evaluated the effectiveness of an HIV/AIDS cognitive-behavioral skills-training program in promoting readiness for behavior change among a sample of psychiatric inpatients. Significant differences were found in the domain of precontemplation for women patients, in domain of contemplation for patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, and in the domain of action for men and for patients with a mood disorder. In all areas, difference scores reflected an improvement between pre- and posttest levels.
