Risk-Prevention in the Context Of "The New Moral Climate of Politics"
Diana Otročak
Sažetak
In the framework of Anthony Giddens’ “reflexive modernisation” concept, the paper discusses the impact of scientific insights and socio-political context on designing and implementing the risk-prevention programmes. By identifiing the weak points of prevention activities, the paper argues that the usage of psychological and sociological researches in Croatia is insufficient. As this work focuses on hiv/aids prevention, it reviews the conclusions of meta-analysis of hiv-reduction publications, written by social psychologists Fisher and Fisher. Adopting their conclusions the author maintains that theory-based research is a necessary basis and the best guideline for effective hiv/aids prevention.
