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 第一阶段项目的目的是开发一种基于理论、基于计算机的 HIV/艾滋病预防工具，称为“了解风险：HIV 超过 50 岁”。该工具旨在 (a) 提供急需的工具为老年人提供艾滋病毒预防资源； (b) 鼓励医疗服务提供者将老年人视为高危人群。目标受众是医疗、诊所、社会和住宅环境中为老年人及其客户提供服务的健康专业人员。该工具专为轻松适应这些环境而设计，将包括两个关键组件：(1) 音频增强型、自动进展的艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险筛查工具； (2) 一个互动式多媒体艾滋病毒/艾滋病学习活动中心，涵盖与 50 岁以上人群相关的一般和特别焦点主题。该筛查仪将为自我评估艾滋病毒风险提供一个关键起点，并鼓励卫生专业人员与其老年客户之间进行预防咨询。该活动中心将(a) 协助卫生专业人员向经常被忽视的人群传播艾滋病毒/艾滋病信息，以及(b) 以多媒体、互动形式向老年人提供与年龄相关的艾滋病毒预防内容。该工具将被设计为潜在的独立资源使用（例如自我管理），在为老年人口服务的各种环境中提供更大的适应性。该工具的英语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该工具的可行性。开发将受到艾滋病毒/艾滋病和老龄化领域专家组成的科学家小组、由卫生专业人员和健康教育者组成的焦点小组以及五十岁以上成年人对原型工具的可用性测试的反馈的指导。
