Abstract
Delay in developing and implementing specific prevention programs in the intervention districts slowed diffusion of the effect into the communities. Secular trends with contentious civil unrest and active drug-enforcement efforts in the control communities also contributed to the null intervention effect. Longer time and intensified efforts stressing a public health approach are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of community mobilization in reducing substance use and HIV risk in this rural Thai community.
