Abstract

This chapter will briefly review current approaches regarding the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STI) based on behavioural interventions targeted at populations, groups or individuals at risk. In the chapter, there will be an in-depth examination of the spectrum of characteristics of sexual behaviour that affect the likelihood to be prone to changing or to transmitting/acquiring an STI. Methodological frameworks of different behavioural approaches are examined and outcomes and results of relevant studies from systematic reviews and meta-analyses are also abstracted. Key elements, limits and challenges of cost-effective behavioural strategies in reducing STI incidence in populations of different ages, genders, geographical origins or sexual orientation will be discussed and critically examined.
