DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Young urban women continue to be at risk for heterosexual transmission of HIV. The primary goal of this proposed information system project is to develop a functional prototype of a decision support system (DSS) that will assess sexual risk behaviors associated with transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in urban women, and provide feedback in the form of video vignettes. These video vignettes will communicate health promotion messages that are tailored to HIV sexual risk behavior. To assess HIV sexual risk behavior in young, urban women in neighborhood and clinical settings, an audio computer assisted self-interview (ACASI) will be developed. Using ACASI, the participant can simultaneously read questionnaire items on a computer screen and hear the items on a headset. Numeric responses are entered using a touch screen or numeric keypad. Feedback will be immediately provided in the form of culturally relevant video vignettes. The ACASI/DSS will be developed for use evaluation on handheld, laptop, and desktop computers. The small screen of the hand held computer and use of a headset promote privacy. Thus, the hand held may be a viable option as an adjunct approach to health promotion, particularly, when portability and privacy are desired. The ACASI/DSS will be pilot tested in urban women, aged 18 to 25 in several public housing developments and in a public, sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic in order to evaluate the capability of the system to conduct audio assisted interviews about HIV sexual risk behaviors, deliver relevant video vignettes as feedback, preserve privacy, and operate on a W-WAN; and to determine whether the handheld computer is an acceptable delivery device for viewing text and videos when compared to a laptop or desktop computer. This proposal addresses a Healthy People 2010 objective concerning health communication; specifically, in populations where literacy may be a concern. Our objectives meet several goals of this Information System Grant, including: creating a unique digital information resource, customizing information services to meet the needs of special audiences, delivering information resources to underserved urban populations, applying a new information technology to improve access to information, and designing and testing a new information service. The development and evaluation of this approach are preliminary to a R01 research proposal to study the effectiveness of a computerized decision support intervention that will rely on automated rules to deliver tailored, video health promotion messages as feedback to HIV risk behavior.

描述（由申请人提供）：年轻的城市女性仍然面临异性传播艾滋病毒的风险。该拟议信息系统项目的主要目标是开发决策支持系统（DSS）的功能原型，该原型将评估与城市妇女中人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）传播相关的性风险行为，并以以下形式提供反馈：视频片段。这些视频片段将传达针对艾滋病毒性危险行为量身定制的健康促进信息。为了评估社区和临床环境中年轻城市女性的艾滋病毒性风险行为，将开发音频计算机辅助自我访谈（ACASI）。使用 ACASI，参与者可以同时在计算机屏幕上阅读调查问卷项目并通过耳机收听项目。 使用触摸屏或数字键盘输入数字响应。反馈将以文化相关的视频片段的形式立即提供。 ACASI/DSS 将开发用于手持机、笔记本电脑和台式电脑的使用评估。手持电脑的小屏幕和耳机的使用促进了隐私。因此，手持式可能是一种可行的选择，作为健康促进的辅助方法，特别是当需要便携性和隐私时。 ACASI/DSS 将在多个公共住房开发项目和公共性传播疾病 (STD) 诊所对 18 至 25 岁的城市女性进行试点测试，以评估该系统进行有关艾滋病毒性行为的音频辅助访谈的能力。风险行为、提供相关视频片段作为反馈、保护隐私并在 W-WAN 上运行；并确定与笔记本电脑或台式电脑相比，手持电脑是否是可接受的用于查看文本和视频的传输设备。该提案涉及健康传播 2010 年健康人目标；特别是在识字率可能令人担忧的人群中。我们的目标符合该信息系统拨款的几个目标，包括：创建独特的数字信息资源、定制信息服务以满足特殊受众的需求、向服务不足的城市人口提供信息资源、应用新的信息技术来改善信息获取、设计并测试新的信息服务。这种方法的开发和评估是 R01 研究提案的初步准备，该提案旨在研究计算机化决策支持干预措施的有效性，该干预措施将依靠自动化规则来提供定制的视频健康促进信息，作为对艾滋病毒风险行为的反馈。
