DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The rates of HIV/AIDS among adolescents are alarming in Sub-Saharan Africa, where sexual transmission is the leading cause of infection with HIV. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the Republic of Botswana has the second highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world. A limited capacity and infrastructure for rigorous HIV/STD prevention research has hampered efforts to curb the spread of sexually transmitted HIV infection among adolescents in Botswana. Accordingly, the broad long- term objective of the proposed research is to build capacity and infrastructure to develop, implement, and evaluate culturally competent, developmentally appropriate, sustainable interventions suitable for implementation in a variety of settings to dissuade Botswana adolescents from engaging in behaviors that increase their risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV. This application is a collaborative effort of a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Botswana and the University of Pennsylvania to build such capacity and infrastructure at the University of Botswana. The project will be directed by Professor Bagele Chilsa at the University of Botswana and Professor John Jemmott at the University of Pennsylvania. The capacity building will be organized around three cores. Qualitative and Quantitative Methodology Core, Social and Behavioral Intervention Core, and the Administrative Core. In addition, three research projects that draw upon the cores to address adolescents in different settings are proposed: School-Based HIV/STD Prevention, Church-Based HIV/STD Prevention, and HIV/STD Prevention for Adolescents Living with HIV. The Principal Investigator of each core and research project will be a University of Botswana faculty member and the Co-Principal Investigator will be a University of Pennsylvania faculty member. This partnership is committed to developing a creative comprehensive and interdisciplinary HIV/STD prevention research program on adolescents that is fully integrated within the research and education mission of the University Botswana and dedicated to addressing the urgent need to stem the devastating impact of HIV on one of the highest risk adolescent populations in the world.

描述（由申请人提供）：撒哈拉以南非洲青少年中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的发病率令人震惊，性传播是感染艾滋病毒的主要原因。在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，博茨瓦纳共和国的艾滋病毒/艾滋病发病率位居世界第二。严格的艾滋病毒/性病预防研究的能力和基础设施有限，阻碍了遏制博茨瓦纳青少年中性传播艾滋病毒感染传播的努力。因此，拟议研究的广泛长期目标是建设能力和基础设施，以开发、实施和评估适合在各种环境下实施的具有文化能力、适合发展、可持续的干预措施，以劝阻博茨瓦纳青少年从事以下行为：增加感染性传播疾病（STD）（包括艾滋病毒）的风险。该应用程序是博茨瓦纳大学和宾夕法尼亚大学的多学科研究团队的合作成果，旨在在博茨瓦纳大学建设此类能力和基础设施。该项目将由博茨瓦纳大学的 Bagele Chilsa 教授和宾夕法尼亚大学的 John Jemmott 教授指导。能力建设将围绕三个核心进行组织。定性和定量方法核心、社会和行为干预核心以及行政核心。此外，还提出了三个研究项目，利用核心内容来解决不同环境下的青少年问题：基于学校的艾滋病毒/性病预防、基于教会的艾滋病毒/性病预防和艾滋病毒感染青少年的艾滋病毒/性病预防。每个核心和研究项目的首席研究员将是博茨瓦纳大学的教员，联合首席研究员将是宾夕法尼亚大学的教员。这一伙伴关系致力于开发一项针对青少年的创造性综合性跨学科艾滋病毒/性病预防研究计划，该计划完全纳入博茨瓦纳大学的研究和教育使命，并致力于解决阻止艾滋病毒对青少年造成破坏性影响的迫切需要。世界上风险最高的青少年群体。
