Promoting male circumcision (MC) is now recognized as an additional,
important strategy for the prevention of heterosexually acquired HIV
infection in men, and plans are underway to scale-up this intervention
especially in non-circumcising communities, with generalized HIV pandemic.
This qualitative study identifies and characterizes the role of social and
interpersonal factors in the scale-up of MC services in a rural
non-circumcising community in western Kenya.

Community-based substance abuse prevention initiatives often rely on the
empowerment of community residents. Few studies, however, have examined
predictors of empowerment in substance abuse prevention contexts. This stud=
y
tested a path model that included two environment-related variables (i.e.,
residents' awareness of community substance abuse problems and perceived
incivilities in their community), two variables representing residents'
perceptions of their community (i.e., sense of community and perceived
police responsiveness to drug crime) and citizen participation as predictor=
s
of the intrapersonal component of psychological empowerment.
