Nontailored Intervention As in the tailored intervention,
information contained in the nontailored intervention was
derived from the theoretically specified predictors of use of
HPDs. However, the nontailored intervention was not
related to the individual’s reported use of HPDs or
responses on the survey questions. Rather, intervention
content was delivered in a uniform manner to all participants
in the group, with each worker receiving the same
information in the same sequence.
Both the nontailored predictor-based and tailored
interventions used factual, cognitive approaches, as well as
demonstration, directed practice, vicarious experience,
persuasion, and role-modeling techniques. The demonstrations
and testimonials were presented in an interactive format
by persons from various gender and ethnic groups.
