项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Behavioral and social sciences researchers continue to struggle to reach, sample, count, engage and retain participants from socially disadvantaged and marginalized groups, or hard-to-reach populations. Hard-to-reach populations are often those experiencing health disparities for many diseases and conditions. Such populations include: persons experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity, chronic mental illness, out of school youth, sex workers, trafficked adolescent girls, undocumented immigrants, gang members, street children, people who use drugs, racial/ethnic minorities, and sexual and gender minorities such as transgender persons and men who have sex with men. There are many reasons why these groups are not fully represented or included in behavioral, social sciences, and clinical research. One reason is the lack of training on state-of-the-art methodologies to sample hard-to-reach populations and the advance statistical skills to analyze complex survey data within formal training programs. Moreover, the advanced methods needed to estimate their numbers are not taught in conventional behavioral, public health, and social sciences degree programs. These fundamental skills are needed to advance multiple lines of research to end health disparities, to be more inclusive of diverse populations in research, and to efficiently obtain samples of hard-to-reach populations in large enough numbers necessary for statistically powerful study designs. Many innovations for engaging, recruiting, and sampling hard-to-reach populations originate from HIV research but remain underutilized in other areas of behavioral and social sciences research. This H2R training grant will capitalize on our >15 years of research with hard-to-reach populations at risk for HIV, and a recent successful initiative, the Sampling Knowledge Hub at UCSF, to establish a core of short courses, strengthen mentorship, and initiate lines of research among hard-to-reach populations for trainees and mentors among graduate students and junior researchers at universities and public health practitioners of health departments in Northern California.

项目摘要行为和社会科学研究人员继续努力达到，采样，计算，参与和保留来自社会弱势群体和边缘化群体或难以到达的人群的参与者。难以触及人口通常是那些在许多疾病和状况上遇到健康差异的人。这样的人群包括：经历无家可归和住房不安全感，慢性精神疾病，年轻人，性工作者，被贩运的青少年女孩，无证件移民，帮派成员，街头儿童，使用毒品，种族/族裔少数民族以及性和性别少数群体，例如变性人和男人与男人发生性关系。这些群体未完全代表或包括在行为中，有很多原因，社会科学和临床研究。原因之一是缺乏对最先进方法的培训样本难以到达的人群和提前的统计技能，以分析正式的复杂调查数据培训计划。此外，估计其数字所需的高级方法没有教授常规的行为，公共卫生和社会科学学位课程。这些基本技能是需要进步多种研究以消除健康差异，以更加包含不同的人群在研究中，并有效地获取了足够多数的难以到达人群的样本用于统计上强大的研究设计。许多参与，招募和取样难以到达的创新人口源于艾滋病毒研究，但在行为和社会科学的其他领域仍未得到充分利用研究。这项H2R培训赠款将利用我们> 15年的研究，在难以到达的人群中艾滋病毒的风险以及最近成功的计划，即在UCSF的采样知识中心，以建立一个核心短期课程，加强指导以及对学员难以到达的人群之间的研究渠道以及大学的研究生和初级研究人员的导师以及公共卫生从业人员北加州的卫生部门。
