DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Latino communities have been disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, especially Latino gay and bisexual men and transgender persons (GBT). The stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS has been proposed as one of the underlying factors leading to unprotected sex, hence, to HIV and AIDS. The stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS may put individuals at risk for HIV because of its negative impact on the self, because it may diminish social support, and because it may prevent individuals from accessing resources. Despite the decline in negative societal attitudes towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS in the U.S., gay men continue to experience stigmatization. Unfortunately, research and intervention activities focused on stigma are limited. The overall goal of our research activities is to reduce HIV and AIDS among Latino GET. The goal of this Phase II project, thus, is to produce and test an educational documentary film to decrease stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS as a means to prevent HIV-risk behaviors among Latino GET. The specific aims include: 1. To produce an educational documentary film. The primary target audience for this film is Latino youth between the ages of 14 and 24. The secondary audiences include Latino adults; and members of the gay, bisexual, lesbian, and transgender communities. 2. To develop a discussion guide for use with the educational film. 3. To evaluate the educational film through a pre-post test of stigmatizing attitudes towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS among a segment of our primary audience. Our commercialization plan, which includes national television broadcast, educational distribution, and local community outreach, will help make this film widely available among Spanish and English speaking Latino and GET audiences.

描述（由申请人提供）：拉丁裔社区受到艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的影响不成比例，尤其是拉丁裔男同性恋者和双性恋男人和变性人（GBT）。已经提出，对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名是导致无保护性别的基本因素之一，因此艾滋病毒和艾滋病。对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名可能会使个人对自我产生负面影响，因为它可能会减少社会支持，并且因为它可能阻止个人获得资源。尽管在美国对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的负面社会态度下降，但同性恋者继续遭受污名化。不幸的是，集中于污名的研究和干预活动受到限制。我们的研究活动的总体目标是减少拉丁美洲人的艾滋病毒和艾滋病。因此，该阶段项目的目的是制作和测试一部教育纪录片，以减少对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名，以防止拉丁美洲人获得艾滋病毒风险行为。具体目的包括：1。制作一部教育纪录片。这部电影的主要目标受众是14至24岁之间的拉丁裔青年。二级观众包括拉丁裔成年人。以及同性恋，双性恋，女同性恋和变性人社区的成员。 2。制定与教育电影一起使用的讨论指南。 3。通过在我们的主要受众群体中对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的污名化的污名化态度来评估教育电影。我们的商业化计划包括国家电视台广播，教育发行和当地社区外展活动，将有助于使这部电影在西班牙语和英语的拉丁裔中广泛使用，并吸引观众。
