Description:The Health Improvement Project (HIP) intervention is a small group, skills training intervention to reduce risky sex behavior among persons with mental illness. Through interactive group discussions and motivational exercises, the first 4 sessions provide participants the facts about sexual behavior, HIV, and STDs; increase awareness of HIV risk; offer healthy alternatives to unsafe sex; discuss social norms concerning risky and safe sex; and address the benefits and costs of behavior change. Through the use of role plays, the remaining 6 sessions provide participants the skills necessary to use male and female condoms, develop coping strategies to deal with risky situations, and negotiate condom use with sex partners. Standard outpatient psychiatric care—including medication, psychotherapy and case management—is also provided on an ongoing basis.
