Study information

Study design	Pragmatic randomised controlled cluster trial
Primary study design	Interventional
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)	Not specified
Study type	Prevention
Scientific title
Study acronym	CIET-BM1
Study objectives	Engaging motor dealership employees community outreach education increases their Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-protective attitudes and practices.
Ethics approval(s)	Ethics approval received from CIET Africa Ethics Board on the 30th April 2007 (ref: BM2-2007).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	HIV/Acquired Immune Deficiency Virus (AIDS) prevention
Intervention	The unit of randomisation is the dealership, each dealership employing a staff of 40 - 100 people and an adjacent community where a large number of the staff live. Some 20 participating dealerships nationally will be allocated randomly to first wave or second wave of intervention. Although the dealerships are typically in well-to-do or commercial areas, the linked communities tend to be much more modest. Workplaces are randomised after baseline survey, to early and late initiation of intervention. Intervention: 1. AIDS prevention education 2. Sexual violence education 3. Participant involvement in community outreach education The intervention lasts 4 - 6 months in each dealership, although aspects of this will continue well beyond the investment. For example, employees will be trained to implement the sexual violence prevention education, which they will continue to implement on an ongoing basis, once a week. Control: Usual education The impact of the first wave of dealerships will be assessed after one year, while the second wave (controls for the first wave) will be assessed a year later.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	HIV-related protective attitudes and practices among dealership employees, measured after one year.
Secondary outcome measures	1. Work absenteeism 2. Work performance 3. HIV related knowledge 4. Attitudes 5. Positive deviation from subjective norms 6. Intention to change 7. Sense of agency to implement prevention measures 8. Discussion of HIV prevention All secondary outcomes measured after one year.
