This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is an intractable health problem that has defied over 20 years of concerted approaches from a wide range of disciplines. In fact, despite massive multisectoral attempts to prevent its spread, HIV incidence continues to increase around the globe. Youth (young people between the ages of 15 and 24), and particularly female youth, are at greatest risk for HIV acquisition. As sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in general, and HIV in particular, have become inextricably woven together and exacerbated by issues such as poverty, migration, labor market opportunities, and gender-based power disparities, it has become clear that any effective prevention program must address the underlying structural factors which shape individuals'''''''''''''''' vulnerability, most notably the economic circumstances that condition their risk-taking choices. What is needed is a truly interdisciplinary approach that integrates existing knowledge about youth HIV/AIDS risk behavior to generate new paradigms of risk behavior, and that will foster new approaches to the development and evaluation of effective interventions to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among youth. We propose to integrate theoretical, methodological and analytical aspects of the Economic Sciences, Population Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences to develop new pathways to discovery and intervention in youth vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, STIs, and unintended pregnancies. In particular, we aim to understand how structural factors such as poverty, gender-based power, labor market opportunities, and migration ultimately shape these outcomes. The ultimate goal of this work is to develop effective interventions for the prevention of HIV, STIs, and unintended pregnancies. We will develop this new discipline, called Behavioral Economic Epidemiology (BEE), through a three-year process of structured learning and critique of each others'''''''''''''''' disciplines, focused integration of theoretical models and methods, and validation and pilot-testing of tools and analytic methods. We will also explore strategies for expanding this new approach into a more formalized and enduring discipline by developing a sustainable market for its production and consumptio

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子弹和调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构适用于该中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。描述（由申请人提供）：人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得的免疫缺陷综合征（HIV/AIDS）是一个棘手的健康问题，从广泛的学科中违反了20年的协调方法。实际上，尽管大规模的跨部门试图阻止其传播，但艾滋病毒的发病率仍在全球范围内增加。青年（年轻人15至24岁的年轻人，尤其是女性青年，艾滋病毒获取的风险最大。 As sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in general, and HIV in particular, have become inextricably woven together and exacerbated by issues such as poverty, migration, labor market opportunities, and gender-based power disparities, it has become clear that any effective prevention program must address the underlying structural factors which shape individuals'''''''''''''''' vulnerability, most notably the economic circumstances that condition their risk-taking选择。需要的是一种真正的跨学科方法，该方法将有关青年艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险行为的现有知识融为一体，以产生新的风险行为范式，这将促进开发和评估有效干预措施的新方法，以防止艾滋病毒/艾滋病在青年中的传播。 我们建议将经济科学，人口科学和行为科学的理论，方法论和分析方面融合，以开发新的途径，以探索青年脆弱性艾滋病毒/艾滋病，性传播感染和意外怀孕的新途径。特别是，我们旨在了解诸如贫困，基于性别的权力，劳动力市场机会和移民等结构性因素最终如何塑造这些结果。这项工作的最终目标是为预防艾滋病毒，性传播感染和意外怀孕而制定有效的干预措施。 We will develop this new discipline, called Behavioral Economic Epidemiology (BEE), through a three-year process of structured learning and critique of each others'''''''''''''''' disciplines, focused integration of theoretical models and methods, and validation and pilot-testing of tools and analytic methods.我们还将探索通过为其生产和消费开发可持续市场的可持续市场，将这种新方法扩展到更正式和持久的纪律中的策略
