DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Latino gay and bisexual men and transgender (GBT) individuals continue to experience relatively high rates of HIV. Stigma towards HIV/AIDS and homosexuality may be one of the causes for those persisting high rates. These stigmas may lead to unsafe sex and HIV infection through their effects on self-esteem, social support, and access to information and resources. Yet, activities to address the stigma of homosexuality and HIV/AIDS within Latino communities are lacking. The overall goal of this research is to reduce stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS as a means to prevent sexual risk behaviors among Latino GBT individuals. We plan to translate findings from our research on Latino GBT community involvement to develop and test an educational documentary film about the lives of Latino GBT individuals who have been activists or volunteers on HIV/AIDS-related issues. The primary target audience for this film will be members of the Latino population (e.g., parents, high school students, and community-based organizations). The secondary audience will include members of the gay, bisexual, lesbian, and transgender communities and organizations working on HIV/AIDS and gay issues. The goal of this Phase I application is to test the scientific and technical feasibility of this educational film as a tool to reduce stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS among Latinos. Specific aims include: 1.To develop an initial script and treatment for the educational documentary film from research findings. 2. To obtain feedback regarding selected themes and their representation in the film. We will recruit a diverse group of Latino GBT individuals who are activists in HIV/AIDS causes in four cities (10 in each city, approximately): New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco. We will also request and secure their participation in the film. 3. To assess the need for the educational documentary film among potential users. 4. To determine the appropriate format and technical elements needed to effectively communicate with our bilingual and multicultural audiences.

描述（由申请人提供）：拉丁裔男同性恋者和双性恋男人和变性人（GBT）个体继续经历相对较高的艾滋病毒率。对艾滋病毒/艾滋病和同性恋的污名可能是那些持续高率的人的原因之一。这些污名可能会通过对自尊，社会支持以及获取信息和资源的影响而导致不安全的性别和艾滋病毒感染。然而，缺乏解决拉丁裔社区内同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名的活动。这项研究的总体目标是减少对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名，以防止拉丁裔GBT个人之间的性风险行为。我们计划将我们对拉丁裔GBT社区参与的研究转化，以开发和测试一部教育纪录片，介绍曾经是激进主义者或与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的问题的拉丁裔GBT个人的生活。这部电影的主要目标受众将是拉丁裔人口的成员（例如，父母，高中生和社区组织）。次要观众将包括同性恋，双性恋，女同性恋以及跨性别社区以及从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病和同性恋问题的组织。 I阶段应用的目的是测试这部教育电影的科学和技术可行性，作为减少拉丁美洲人对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名的工具。具体目的包括：1。从研究结果中开发为教育纪录片的初始脚本和治疗方法。 2。获得有关选定主题及其在电影中的代表性的反馈。我们将招募一群不同的拉丁裔GBT个人，他们是四个城市中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病活动的活动家（每个城市的10个）：纽约市，华盛顿特区，芝加哥和旧金山。我们还将要求并确保他们参与电影。 3。评估潜在用户中教育纪录片的需求。 4。确定与我们的双语和多元文化受众有效交流所需的适当格式和技术要素。
