DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Texas National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) project is to monitor the HIV epidemic through HIV risk behavior data of high risk groups in order to guide local HIV prevention programs in Texas and contribute to the development of a National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system. Formative research will be conducted prior to implementation of the survey using key informant interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic assessments to develop local survey questions and to identify local venues for conducting field research activities. The Texas NHBS project team will conduct an anonymous, cross-sectional survey of HIV risk behaviors, access to and utilization of HIV prevention services in three adult high risk populations, men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU) and heterosexuals at increased risk of HIV (HET) in the Dallas Division, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area. A minimum of 500 surveys will be completed from eligible participants for each MSM and IDU cycle and 450 surveys will be completed from eligible participants for the HET cycle from January 2011 to December 2015 using venue based, time-space sampling and respondent driven sampling methodologies as appropriate for the target population. Voluntary and anonymous HIV testing will also be conducted on consenting participants to estimate HIV seroprevalence of each high risk group. Additionally, voluntary and anonymous hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and syphilis testing will be conducted on consenting participants to estimate HBV, HCV, and syphilis seroprevalence. All surveys, HIV testing, along with HBV, HCV, and syphilis testing will be conducted by a team of trained staff in a secure mobile testing unit (customized recreational vehicle). Research data will be analyzed and study findings will be disseminated to local and national surveillance reporting systems, to community based organizations, and to HIV community planning groups in order to guide prevention resource allocation and to design and evaluate prevention interventions. Further, potential research topics of key risk behavior indicators will be explored by the Texas NHBS research consortium and disseminated through abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts. The Texas NHBS will also conduct evaluations of the local NHBS system, the quality, efficiency, and usefulness of its sampling systems and data collection methods to ensure the system is meeting the project goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯州国家艾滋病毒行为监测（NHBS）项目的目标是通过高风险群体的艾滋病毒风险行为数据监测艾滋病毒流行，以指导德克萨斯州的当地艾滋病毒预防计划，并有助于开发国家艾滋病毒行为监测系统。在使用关键的线人访谈，焦点小组和民族志评估进行调查之前，将进行形成性研究，以制定当地调查问题并确定进行现场研究活动的当地场所。 The Texas NHBS project team will conduct an anonymous, cross-sectional survey of HIV risk behaviors, access to and utilization of HIV prevention services in three adult high risk populations, men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU) and heterosexuals at increased risk of HIV (HET) in the Dallas Division, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area.对于每个MSM和IDU周期的合格参与者，至少将完成500次调查，从2011年1月至2015年12月，有资格的参与者使用基于场所的时间间隔采样，以及受访者驱动的采样方法适用于目标人群。也将对同意参与者进行自愿和匿名HIV测试，以估计每个高风险组的艾滋病毒血清阳性。此外，将对同意的参与者进行自愿和匿名肝炎（HBV），丙型肝炎（HCV）和梅毒测试，以估算HBV，HCV和梅毒血清可获得。所有调查，HIV测试以及HBV，HCV和梅毒测试将由一个训练有素的员工团队（自定义的娱乐性车辆）进行。研究数据将进行分析，研究结果将被传播到本地和国家监视报告系统，基于社区的组织以及HIV社区计划小组，以指导预防资源分配，并设计和评估预防干预措施。此外，得克萨斯州NHBS研究联盟将探讨关键风险行为指标的潜在研究主题，并通过摘要，演示和手稿进行​​传播。德克萨斯州NHB还将对本地NHBS系统进行评估，其采样系统和数据收集方法的质量，效率和实用性，以确保该系统符合项目目标。
