DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this three year study entitled "Alcohol, HIV Risk Behavior and Prevention in Mumbai, India" is to conduct formative research on the interaction of alcohol use and contextual risk-taking in targeted slum communities in Mumbai for use in formulating approaches to multi-level interventions to combat the combined risks of drinking and unsafe practices that can lead to HIV/STDs. It addresses the concern that rising alcohol consumption in India increases risk behaviors facilitating the transmission of HIV into the general population. Aims of the study are: 1. To identify, through qualitative research, the contexts and meanings through which alcohol use and HIV risk intersect in slum communities in Mumbai as a type city (Months 1 - 13); 2. To conduct a survey of 1200 male and 180 female slum residents between the ages of 18 and 40 in Mumbai (Months 13-26) exploring the association of migration, vulnerability, social networks, expectancies, the convergence of alcohol and risky behavior in critical events and social and health consequences: 3. To increase the capacity of the International Institute for Population Studies, Mumbai, to integrate qualitative, survey, network and spatial data in the conduct of research and intervention on alcohol use and HIV risk, through formal training in the U.S. and India (ongoing each year); 4. To partner with NGOs, service providers and other community resources, and community opinion leaders, in data sharing and intervention planning to develop feasible and culturally acceptable strategies for engaging community resources and residents in risk prevention programs that decrease alcohol consumption and increase protection against the transmission of HIV (ongoing each year). The project represents the ongoing partnership of the Institute for Community Research, Hartford, International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, India, and the University of Connecticut. It is supported by Indian and US consultants/advisors internationally recognized for their work in community work, alcohol measurement, qualitative research methods and GIS and spatial data. The study will provide new qualitative and quantitative information on the role of alcohol in enhancing HIV-related risk taking behavior, and discover new ways of partnering with low income communities to develop comprehensive multilevel culturally appropriate approaches to alcohol and HIV risk reduction.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项题为“印度孟买的酒精、艾滋病毒风险行为和预防”的为期三年的研究的目的是对孟买目标贫民窟社区的酒精使用和背景风险行为之间的相互作用进行形成性研究用于制定多层次干预措施的方法，以应对可能导致艾滋病毒/性病的饮酒和不安全做法的综合风险。它解决了印度饮酒量增加增加危险行为，从而促进艾滋病毒传播到普通人群的担忧。该研究的目的是： 1. 通过定性研究，确定孟买作为典型城市的贫民窟社区中饮酒与艾滋病毒风险交叉的背景和意义（第 1 - 13 个月）； 2. 对孟买 1200 名 18 至 40 岁之间的男性和 180 名女性贫民窟居民（第 13 至 26 个月）进行调查，探讨移民、脆弱性、社交网络、期望、酗酒和危险行为之间的关联。重大事件以及社会和健康后果：3. 提高孟买国际人口研究所将定性、调查、网络和空间数据整合到研究中的能力通过在美国和印度进行正式培训（每年持续），对饮酒和艾滋病毒风险进行干预； 4. 与非政府组织、服务提供者和其他社区资源以及社区意见领袖合作，进行数据共享和干预规划，制定可行且文化上可接受的策略，让社区资源和居民参与风险预防计划，减少酒精消费并加强对酒精的预防。艾滋病毒的传播（每年都在进行）。该项目代表了哈特福德社区研究所、印度孟买国际人口科学研究所 (IIPS) 和康涅狄格大学之间持续的合作关系。它得到了印度和美国顾问的支持，他们在社区工作、酒精测量、定性研究方法以及地理信息系统和空间数据方面的工作得到了国际认可。该研究将提供有关酒精在增强艾滋病毒相关冒险行为方面的作用的新的定性和定量信息，并发现与低收入社区合作的新方法，以制定全面的、多层次的、文化上适当的方法来降低酒精和艾滋病毒风险。
