Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, D, E
Feedback:
Trauma such as child sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, adult sexual abuse, and victimization from exposure to violent environments contribute to behaviors associated with increased HIV risk and disease sequelae. Violence victimization increases depressive symptoms, decreases safe sex behaviors, increases the chance of becoming HIV seropositive, and increases the chances of acquiring and being treated for a sexually transmitted infection (STI) within a year's time (Laughon et al., 2007).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The relapse prevention model has been used specifically with issues that relate to adherence. For example, communities interested in crime prevention may be aware that in certain months of the year there is an increase in violent crime. They would then create a community campaign to promote nonviolence by increasing law enforcement presence and improving faith-based support. Social learning/social cognitive theory is a behavior change approach affected by environmental influences, personal factors, and attributes of the behavior itself. The theory of reasoned action states that a person's given behavior is primarily determined by his or her intention to perform that behavior (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975). The transtheoretical model, developed by Prochaska and DiClemente (1983), is a sequential approach to behavior change that involves timely readiness of the learner.
