HIV Prevention Among Drug Users:
A Resource Book for Community Planners & Program Managers

Acknowledgements

The HPDU Resource Book reflects the efforts of many researchers, community planners, and program staff who are working to develop and evaluate effective approaches to decreasing HIV transmission related to drug use. Each part of the book includes a list of references and resources used in its development. A complete bibliography appears at the end. We want to acknowledge all those individuals whose continuing efforts have made possible the assembly of such a rich body of information and support for HIV prevention programs for drug users, and their sex partners and children.

We particularly wish to acknowledge the guidance and assistance of CDC staff critical to the development of this document: Linda Wright-De Agüero PhD, MPH; Ronald O. Valdiserri MD, MPH; T.
