项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 411 on Safe Text: Cell Phone Based-HIV Prevention for Black Urban Young Men is a proposal specifically intended to respond to the RFA-07-002 call to 'Develop or test interventions for real world community settings, identifying specific cultural factors in research design and data analysis.' We will blend Afrocentric cultural elements with youth cell phone culture to develop and pilot test an innovative technology based HIV prevention program for Black urban young men aged 16-20. The 411 on Safe Text will use cell- phones to deliver culturally relevant, tailored, motivational and educational material to promote abstinence, increased monogamy and increased condom use. The Specific Aims we will achieve through this project include: (1) To review existing data previously gathered from 2218 Black urban youth during two in-depth investigations of sexuality and abstinence, respectively, in order to craft prototypes for culturally appropriate, theoretically framed HIV prevention messages that can be delivered using cell-phone technology; (2) To conduct six focus groups with Black urban young men in Philadelphia, PA, using an iterative process to garner feedback and reactions to these initial prototypes; (3) To utilize existing data and newly gathered focus group data to refine prototypes and design generic health messages (for controls) and theoretically and culturally framed HIV prevention text messages; streaming video; and short quizzes that will be delivered via cell phones (for intervention participants); (4) To pilot test the acceptability and feasibility of cell-phone based interventions with 60 Black urban young men aged 16-20; and (5) To pilot test the efficacy of the cell-phone based HIV prevention intervention in increasing abstinence or delaying sexual activity; monogamy; and use of condoms.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于安全文本的 411：针对城市黑人年轻人基于手机的艾滋病毒预防是一项专门旨在响应 RFA-07-002 号召“针对现实世界社区环境制定或测试干预措施”的提案，确定研究设计和数据分析中的特定文化因素。我们将把非洲中心文化元素与青年手机文化相结合，为 16-20 岁的黑人城市青年开发并试点一项基于创新技术的艾滋病毒预防计划。 411 安全短信将使用手机提供与文化相关的、量身定制的激励性和教育材料，以促进禁欲、加强一夫一妻制和增加安全套的使用。我们将通过该项目实现的具体目标包括：(1) 回顾之前分别在对性行为和禁欲的两次深入调查中从 2218 名黑人城市青年收集的现有数据，以便为文化上适当的、理论上框架的艾滋病毒制作原型可以使用手机技术发送的预防信息； (2) 在宾夕法尼亚州费城与黑人城市年轻人进行六个焦点小组，使用迭代过程来收集对这些初始原型的反馈和反应； (3) 利用现有数据和新收集的焦点小组数据来完善原型并设计通用健康信息（用于对照）以及理论和文化框架的艾滋病毒预防短信；流媒体视频；以及通过手机进行的小测验（针对干预参与者）； (4) 对 60 名 16-20 岁的城市黑人青年进行手机干预的可接受性和可行性试点； (5) 试点测试基于手机的艾滋病毒预防干预措施在提高禁欲或推迟性活动方面的效果；一夫一妻制；和使用安全套。
