The Compendium is organized into four sections:

Section One: Summaries of Prevention Interventions

This section provides "one-pagers" or Summaries of each effective intervention. These are written to emphasize the intervention content and methods, based on information provided in the report. Summaries are grouped by target populations:

   

Within groups, Summaries are ordered alphabetically by author.

For all interventions, Table 1 highlights characteristics of the populations and interventions.
For selected interventions, Table 2 provides information about access to intervention materials.

The Intervention Checklist is a tool for intervention assessment. It is designed to clarify aspects of existing interventions that can be strengthened.

Appendix A describes the aims of CDC's HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) project, the criteria used to select PRS relevant and rigorous studies, and the additional criteria used to select a subset of relevant and rigorous studies for the Compendium.

Appendix B contains the bibliography, which references each study in the Compendium, along with additional or supplemental citations that pertain to that study.
