DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this SBIR Phase I project is to develop a theoretically informed, computer-based HIV/AIDS prevention tool called Know the Risks: HIV Over 50. The tool is intended to (a) provide critically needed HIV prevention resources to older adults; and (b) encourage health provider recognition of older adults as an at risk population. Intended audiences are health professionals in medical, clinic, social and residential settings serving older adults, and their clients. Designed for easy adaptation into these settings, the tool will include two key components: (1) an audio-enhanced, automatic progressing HIV/AIDS risk screening instrument; and (2) an interactive, multimedia HIV/AIDS Learning Activities Center covering general and special focus topics of relevance to those over fifty. The screener will provide a critical starting point for self-assessment of HIV risk and encourage prevention counseling between health professionals and their older clients. The Activities Center will (a) assist health professionals with HIV/AIDS information dissemination to a frequently overlooked population, and (b) provide age-relevant HIV prevention content to older adults in multimedia, interactive formats. The tool will be designed for potential use as a stand-alone resource (e.g. self administered), affording greater adaptability in a variety of settings serving older populations. English and Spanish versions of the tool will help broaden the potential user base. Phase I will be devoted to testing the feasibility of developing the tool. Development will be guided by feedback from a scientist panel of experts in the field of HIV/AIDS and aging, focus groups with health professionals and health educators, and usability testing of the prototype tool with adults over fifty.

描述（由申请人提供）：该SBIR I期项目的目的是开发理论知情的，基于计算机的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防工具，称为“知道风险：艾滋病毒：50岁以上的风险。 （b）鼓励健康提供者认可老年人作为处于风险的人群。预期的受众是医疗，诊所，社会和住宅环境中的卫生专业人员，为老年人及其客户提供服务。该工具设计用于轻松适应这些设置，包括两个关键组件：（1）音频增强的自动进步的HIV/AIDS风险筛查工具； （2）互动的多媒体艾滋病毒/艾滋病学习活动中心，涵盖了与五十多人相关的一般和特殊关注主题。筛查者将为自我评估艾滋病毒风险提供关键的起点，并鼓励卫生专业人员和年长的客户之间的预防咨询。活动中心将（a）为经常被忽视的人群提供艾滋病毒/艾滋病信息传播的卫生专业人员，以及（b）以多媒体，互动格式为老年人提供与年龄相关的艾滋病毒预防内容。该工具将设计用于潜在用作独立资源（例如，自我管理），在为较旧人群的各种环境中提供了更大的适应性。该工具的英文和西班牙语版本将有助于扩大潜在的用户群。第一阶段将致力于测试开发工具的可行性。开发将由艾滋病毒/艾滋病和老化领域的科学家小组，与卫生专业人员和卫生教育者的焦点​​小组以及对成人五十多人的原型工具进行可用性测试的反馈指导。
