The sexual health of young women from black and minority ethnic communities has deteriorated. In particular, women from black-Caribbean backgrounds have been disproportionately affected. One way to address this problem is by providing behavioural interventions to enable women to acquire new skills that help reduce their future risk of STI, HIV and unwanted pregnancies. However, developing and evaluating entirely new interventions can be time consuming and potentially expensive, and this problem is urgent. An alternative would be to translate an intervention we already know works with other minority women, into a format that specifically addresses UK black-Caribbean women. However we know very little about what is required to translate such interventions to new groups successfully. That is the aim of our research: To translate a proven intervention into a format culturally specific to young UK black-Caribbean women, and to pilot it assessing its feasibility and acceptability. There are 3 stages involved in this research. The first involves reviewing in detail the parent intervention, that is, the one we are trying to reproduce, and how it was developed and implemented. The second stage involves undertaking new research with black-Caribbean women, and other consumers, community and service stakeholders to identify areas of specific need, and to determine what can be done to improve young black-Caribbean women?s sexual health options. In the third stage, we use the information obtained in stage 2, and with assistance from community stakeholders and young black-Caribbean women themselves, begin adapting the content of the intervention to specifically address black-Caribbean women?s needs. We then pilot the ?new? intervention with groups of women to see what they think, making more minor adaptations along the way, based on what we see happening and what the women feedback to us. At the end of our research we will have developed an intervention package that is culturally specific to the expressed and actual needs of young black-Caribbean women. To be successful our research relies heavily on the involvement of black-Caribbean women and others in the community. To ensure that there are different ways people from the community can contribute, we are devising our research in partnership with a respected local organisation and a specialist in patient advocacy. They will help us make sure the community knows about our work and feels able to have as much involvement as possible.

来自黑人和少数民族社区的年轻女性的性健康状况恶化。尤其是来自加勒比黑人背景的女性受到的影响尤为严重。解决这一问题的一种方法是提供行为干预措施，使妇女能够获得新技能，帮助降低她们未来感染性传播感染、艾滋病毒和意外怀孕的风险。然而，开发和评估全新的干预措施可能既耗时又可能昂贵，而且这个问题很紧迫。另一种选择是将我们已知对其他少数族裔妇女有效的干预措施转化为专门针对英国加勒比黑人妇女的形式。然而，我们对将此类干预措施成功应用于新群体所需的条件知之甚少。这就是我们研究的目的：将经过验证的干预措施转化为针对年轻的英国加勒比黑人女性文化特有的形式，并对其进行试点，评估其可行性和可接受性。这项研究涉及 3 个阶段。第一个涉及详细审查家长干预，即我们试图复制的干预，以及它是如何制定和实施的。第二阶段包括与加勒比黑人妇女以及其他消费者、社区和服务利益相关者一起开展新的研究，以确定具体需求领域，并确定可以采取哪些措施来改善年轻加勒比黑人妇女的性健康选择。在第三阶段，我们利用第二阶段获得的信息，并在社区利益相关者和年轻的加勒比黑人妇女本身的帮助下，开始调整干预内容，以专门满足加勒比黑人妇女的需求。然后我们试行“新的”？对女性群体进行干预，了解她们的想法，并根据我们所看到的情况以及女性向我们反馈的内容，做出更多细微的调整。在我们的研究结束时，我们将制定一套干预方案，该方案在文化上针对年轻的加勒比黑人妇女表达的和实际的需求。 为了取得成功，我们的研究在很大程度上依赖于加勒比黑人妇女和社区其他人的参与。为了确保社区人们可以通过不同的方式做出贡献，我们正在与受人尊敬的当地组织和患者倡导专家合作设计我们的研究。他们将帮助我们确保社区了解我们的工作并感到能够尽可能多地参与。
