The proposed ERG is a collaborative effort of three agencies, Alta Med, a provider of primary medical care and social services and a Community Based Organization; PROTOTYPES, a center for innovation in health, mental health and social services; and Research Support Services, a statistical and research consulting firm. The study's target population consists of the sex partners of Latino injection drug using men and women not currently in treatment. The study will focus on the greater East Los Angeles area, a largely Hispanic population among whom the reported incidence of AIDS is nearly triple that among the white population. The study is designed to: (1) assess the efficacy of two interventions whose goal is the reduction of sexual behaviors posing a high risk of HIV/AIDS transmission; (2) assess gender differences in the efficacy of the interventions; (3) assess the impact of behavioral contracting; (4) monitor high risk sexual behaviors over a six month period and assess changes in HIV seropositivity relative to sexual risk behaviors reported at intake. The two interventions evaluated are the "problem posing" method, based on the work of Paulo Freire, and the "information only" method. In the problem posing method a health educator poses questions to the group designed to encourage thought and discussion regarding how the AIDS epidemic has effected their lives. Group members then devise their own solutions to the problems raised. In the "information only" method participants are exposed to audio visual presentations of AIDS prevention and transmission information, but no interactive component is included. It is hypothesized that both interventions will produce more favorable outcomes than the standard CDC intervention and that the problem posing method will out perform the information only method. Hypotheses regarding gender differences in the efficacy of the interventions and the effects of behavioral contracting on the reduction in risk related behavior are also investigated.

拟议的 ERG 是三个机构的合作成果：Alta Med、 初级医疗保健和社会服务的提供者以及社区 基础组织； PROTOTYPES，健康创新中心， 心理健康和社会服务；和研究支持服务， 统计和研究咨询公司。 研究的目标人群 由拉丁裔注射毒品的性伴侣组成，使用男性和 目前未接受治疗的女性。 该研究将集中于更大的 东洛杉矶地区，主要是西班牙裔人口，其中 据报道，艾滋病发病率几乎是白人的三倍 人口。 该研究的目的是：（1）评估两种药物的疗效 旨在减少性行为的干预措施 艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播的高风险； (2) 评估性别差异 干预措施的有效性； (3)评估行为的影响 承包； (4) 在六个月内监测高风险性行为 期并评估 HIV 血清阳性率相对于性风险的变化 摄入时报告的行为。 评估的两项干预措施是 “问题提出”方法，基于 Paulo Freire 的工作，以及 “仅提供信息”方法。 在提出问题的方法中，健康 教育者向小组提出问题，旨在鼓励思考和 讨论艾滋病流行如何影响他们的生活。 然后小组成员针对提出的问题设计自己的解决方案。 在“仅提供信息”的方法中，参与者会接触到音频 艾滋病预防和传播信息的视觉呈现， 但不包含任何交互组件。 假设两者 干预措施将产生比标准 CDC 更有利的结果 干预并且提出问题的方法将胜过 仅提供信息的方法。 关于性别差异的假设 干预措施的有效性和行为契约的效果 还对减少风险相关行为进行了调查。
