DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) system monitors HIV risk behaviors, utilization of HIV testing and other prevention services, and HIV prevalence and incidence among high-risk populations. The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) is committed to continuing NHBS activities in Miami-Dade County. Behavioral data from this area are imperative to guide and evaluate HIV prevention activities on local, state, and national levels. Miami-Dade County had the fifth highest AIDS prevalence (12,490 persons living with AIDS at the end of 2006) among Metropolitan Statistical Areas and divisions eligible for funding.1 Background/Objectives: NHBS was first funded in 2002 and continues to support a number of important public health goals.2,3,45,6,7 Our objectives include conducting formative research, surveys, and HIV and hepatitis testing among high-risk populations; employing respondent- driven and venue-based, time-space sampling; and sampling the required number of eligible participants for each study cycle among men who have sex with men (MSM) (500), injection drug users (IDUs) (500) and heterosexuals at increased risk for infection (HET) (450). Methods: FDOH will continue to collaborate with the University of Miami (UM) to conduct NHBS in Miami. FDOH and UM will implement NHBS according to CDC protocols. Each year, staff will alternate the study target population (i.e., MSM, IDUs, and HET). Prior to sampling in each cycle, staff will conduct formative research to define the population of interest, determine ways to access the population, and gain insight into the population's HIV risk behaviors. The research team will collaborate with various community partners (e.g., researchers, service providers) both to perform formative research and to disseminate study findings. Conclusions: The research team has obtained a sample of > 500 eligible persons in all previous NHBS cycles in Miami-Dade County and has the experience, expertise, and resources (e.g., a mobile interviewing van) to continue successful NHBS activities. Marlene LaLota, MPH, Principal Investigator, and Lisa Metsch, PhD, Co-Principal Investigator, together hold over 30 years of experience directing HIV prevention studies and each have a wealth of peer-reviewed publications. David Forrest, PhD, Field Operations Director, is a trained cultural anthropologist and brings ethnographic expertise to NHBS operations, including formative research. The team has an established history of close collaboration between institutions and with CDC to plan and conduct NHBS activities. The team is fully committed to disseminating study findings on local, state, and national levels and using the data to evaluate and improve HIV prevention services.

描述（由申请人提供）：国家艾滋病毒行为监测 (NHBS) 系统监测艾滋病毒危险行为、艾滋病毒检测和其他预防服务的利用以及高危人群中艾滋病毒的流行和发病率。佛罗里达州卫生部 (FDOH) 致力于继续在迈阿密戴德县开展 NHBS 活动。该领域的行为数据对于指导和评估地方、州和国家各级的艾滋病毒预防活动至关重要。迈阿密戴德县的艾滋病患病率在大都市统计区和有资格获得资助的部门中排名第五（2006 年底有 12,490 名艾滋病患者）。1 背景/目标：NHBS 于 2002 年首次获得资助，并继续支持许多项目重要的公共卫生目标。2,3,45,6,7 我们的目标包括在高危人群中开展形成性研究、调查以及艾滋病毒和肝炎检测；采用受访者驱动和基于地点的时空抽样；每个研究周期对符合条件的参与者进行抽样，其中包括男男性行为者 (MSM) (500)、注射吸毒者 (IDU) (500) 和感染风险较高的异性恋者 (HET) (450)。方法：FDOH 将继续与迈阿密大学 (UM) 合作，在迈阿密开展 NHBS。 FDOH 和 UM 将根据 CDC 协议实施 NHBS。每年，工作人员都会轮换研究目标人群（即 MSM、IDU 和 HET）。在每个周期的抽样之前，工作人员将进行形成性研究，以确定感兴趣的人群，确定接触人群的方法，并深入了解人群的艾滋病毒危险行为。研究团队将与各种社区合作伙伴（例如研究人员、服务提供商）合作进行形成性研究并传播研究结果。结论：研究团队在迈阿密戴德县之前的所有 NHBS 周期中获得了超过 500 名合格人员的样本，并拥有继续成功开展 NHBS 活动的经验、专业知识和资源（例如移动访谈车）。首席研究员、公共卫生硕士 Marlene LaLota 和联合首席研究员 Lisa Metsch 博士在指导 HIV 预防研究方面拥有 30 多年的经验，并且各自发表了大量经过同行评审的出版物。 David Forrest 博士是现场运营总监，是一位训练有素的文化人类学家，为 NHBS 运营（包括形成性研究）带来了人种学专业知识。该团队在机构之间以及与 CDC 之间有着密切合作的历史，以规划和开展 NHBS 活动。该团队完全致力于在地方、州和国家层面传播研究结果，并利用这些数据来评估和改进艾滋病毒预防服务。
