Abstract
Prisons and other correctional environments are in many ways optimal settings for the development, delivery, and study of AIDS education and prevention programs. Prior research has shown such programs to be widespread, but little is known about their impact. This article presents findings from a recent nationwide survey of AIDS education efforts in U.S. prisons. Results (a) provide baseline information about major program variations that evaluators must take into account and (b) serve as a catalyst for discussion of the types of questions that require their attention.
