experimental condition and (2) a 60-min health improvement
education comparison condition that included a brief
segment on HIV prevention education information. Random
assignment occurred following the baseline assessment
to assure that recruitment and assessment staff
remained blinded to condition assignments as well as at
follow-up assessments. Both conditions were conducted the
day prior to circumcision; the two conditions maintained a
follow-up assessment at 3 months. For both conditions, the
programmes were delivered in small groups consisting of
8 to 12 men per group. A total of 15 groups were
conducted.
