Study on HIV & Alcohol -related treatments for women in sex work

[Guest guest]

Hello All:

I am anticipating doing a small study in India on Alcohol-related

treatments with high risk HIV populations, especially Women in Prostitution. Is

there anyone on the forum who can help me out on a couple of different things?

1. Alcohol-intake questionnaires: Does anyone know of or used any

validated alcohol-intake questionnaires or schedules. Basically a list of

questions that measure quantity, frequency of alcohol intake (like a

self-report) and occasions on which it is consumed

2. A quantified/sturctured scale of reasons why people drink (if you have

or know of one for Women in Prostitution, it would be great)

3. Regarding Women in Prostitution: does anyone have data on how many

women in prostitution in India are brothel-based and how many are non-brothel

based? Any ideas on where I can find this data?

Your help would be valuable to me, and I thank you for the time you take

to relay the information to me.

Regards,

Malati Gadgil
