项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite dramatically escalating HIV rates among African Americans, few African Americans in the US engage in HIV clinical research. The dearth of African American researchers has likely hindered development of effective measures to combat the epidemic in this population. The mentoring goal of this proposal is to increase the pool of researchers - especially African American investigators - who conduct HIV-related patient oriented research. The proposal outlines a plan to recruit and provide training and support to mentees as they advance to research independence. The research goals of this proposal are to examine several key factors that foster and maintain continued HIV transmission and racial disparities in HIV-related morbidity and mortality among African Americans. The proposed research will examine: 1) factors associated with late diagnosis among African Americans with heterosexually transmitted HIV infection and 2) virologic treatment failure's relationship to neighborhood- level poverty and public prescription drug insurance. The studies will build on my previous research concerning the epidemiology of heterosexually transmitted HIV infection and the importance of socioeconomic contextual factors in population HIV transmission among African Americans. Through the proposed studies and work with UNC Health Policy and Administration faculty, I propose to extend my research skills to include health outcomes and health policy. These studies will provide empiric data for development of future individual-level and community-level structural interventions to decrease HIV transmission among African Americans and decrease morbidity and mortality among HIV+ African Americans and others in the South and the rest of the nation.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管非裔美国人中的艾滋病毒感染率急剧上升，但美国很少有非裔美国人参与艾滋病毒临床研究。非裔美国研究人员的缺乏可能阻碍了针对这一人群中流行病的有效措施的制定。该提案的指导目标是增加开展以患者为导向的艾滋病毒相关研究的研究人员队伍，尤其是非裔美国研究人员。该提案概述了一项招募计划，并为受训者提供培训和支持，帮助他们迈向独立研究。该提案的研究目标是研究促进和维持艾滋病毒持续传播的几个关键因素以及非洲裔美国人中艾滋病毒相关发病率和死亡率的种族差异。拟议的研究将研究：1）与非裔美国人异性传播艾滋病毒感染的晚期诊断相关的因素，以及2）病毒学治疗失败与社区贫困和公共处方药保险的关系。这些研究将建立在我之前关于异性传播艾滋病毒感染的流行病学以及社会经济背景因素在非裔美国人人群艾滋病毒传播中的重要性的研究的基础上。通过拟议的研究以及与北卡罗来纳大学卫生政策和管理学院的合作，我建议将我的研究技能扩展到包括健康结果和卫生政策。这些研究将为未来制定个人层面和社区层面的结构性干预措施提供经验数据，以减少非裔美国人中的艾滋病毒传播，并降低艾滋病毒阳性非裔美国人以及南方和美国其他地区的其他人的发病率和死亡率。
