Description:	Functioning as a resource to HIV prevention service providers, planners, policy makers, funders, and others, this book includes information and materials to learn about, replicate, or adapt structural interventions (those that focus on the physical, social, cultural, political, economic, legal, and/or policy aspects of the environment) (Abdul-Quader & Collins, 2011 ) which have demonstrated effi cacy in preventing HIV transmission in the United States (USA) and around the globe. Within this book, 18 subject-matter expert-selected structural interventions are presented according to their targeted risk behaviors (injection drug use, noncommercial sex, and commercial sex) and protective behaviors (utilization of testing and treatment). Along with an introductory global discussion of structural interventions and their policy and program implications, this book provides a brief overview of each target risk behavior group and detailed descriptions of the selected structural interventions that positively impact that risk behavior group. This book of evidence-based structural interventions for HIV prevention: • Includes only rigorously evaluated programs • Includes structural interventions that have been implemented in the USA and structural interventions implemented in international settings • Provides historical context for different classes of interventions • Includes detailed descriptions of all program implementation stages and steps • Derives its content from multiple sources, including interviews with program developers and/or evaluators • Facilitates comparability among structural interventions • Serves as a teaching tool for public health administrators, evaluators, policy makers, funders, and others • Has links to online materials • Addresses the quintessential public health ethical dilemma regarding which types of structural changes should be mandatory via legislation and which should be voluntary, promoted via programmatic, practice, and policy change.
