Project Summary Given the continued impact of HIV among African Americans, there is still an urgent need to expand prevention efforts and HIV testing in African American communities. Heterosexual individuals may acquire and spread infection directly through heterosexual contact, bi-sexual sexual contact, and/or indirectly through homosexual sexual contact. Evidence-based interventions have been shown to increase consistent condom use, decrease sexual partners, and increase HIV testing; however, traditionally-implemented evidence-based intervention packages may not be accessible to communities given the resources and expertise needed to implement them. This project seeks to: 1) assess feasibility for the development of two theory- based, video podcast-delivered, HIV prevention interventions for self-identified heterosexual African American males and females; and 2) evaluate the effectiveness (pilot) of the two theory- based, HIV prevention video podcasts for African American males and females. We will develop the two (male and female) video podcasts that maintain the theoretical integrity of two established CDC evidence-based behavioral HIV prevention interventions. The assessment phase will consist of leveraging African American community members and stakeholders and experts in the field of HIV prevention science in the conceptual and theoretical development of the podcast content. The effectiveness phase will consist of broadcasting the podcasts for participants and evaluating HIV prevention knowledge, condom use, attitudes and self-efficacy for condom use, and HIV testing behavior (1mo and 3mo follow-ups). This intervention is the first of its kind and has the potential to increase HIV protective behaviors in this hard-to-reach and medically underserved population. We expect the resulting interventions to be easily disseminated throughout the African American communities, with the potential to reduce HIV-related disparities within this population. The present study will impact and advance the field by demonstrating feasibility and effectiveness for a novel mode of intervention engagement within HIV prevention science, serve as preliminary data for a larger trial, and foster HIV prevention awareness within the African American community.

项目概要 鉴于艾滋病毒对非裔美国人的持续影响，仍然迫切需要扩大 非裔美国人社区的预防工作和艾滋病毒检测。异性恋者可能会获得 通过异性接触、双性性接触直接和/或间接传播感染 通过同性性接触。事实证明，基于证据的干预措施可以提高一致性 使用安全套、减少性伴侣并增加艾滋病毒检测；然而，传统上实现的 鉴于资源和条件，社区可能无法获得基于证据的干预措施 实施它们所需的专业知识。该项目旨在： 1) 评估开发两个项目的可行性 针对自我认定的异性恋非洲人的基于理论、视频播客的艾滋病毒预防干预措施 美国男性和女性； 2) 评估两种基于理论的 HIV 的有效性（试点） 针对非裔美国男性和女性的预防视频播客。我们将开发两个（男性和 女性）视频播客，保持了两个已建立的 CDC 循证理论的完整性 行为艾滋病毒预防干预措施。评估阶段将包括利用非裔美国人 艾滋病毒预防科学领域的社区成员、利益攸关方和专家的概念 以及播客内容的理论发展。有效性阶段将包括广播 为参与者提供播客，评估艾滋病毒预防知识、安全套使用、态度和自我效能 安全套使用和 HIV 检测行为（1 个月和 3 个月随访）。这种干预措施尚属首次 并有可能在这个难以到达且医疗服务不足的地区增加艾滋病毒保护行为 人口。我们希望由此产生的干预措施能够轻松地在整个非裔美国人中传播 社区，有可能减少该人群中与艾滋病毒相关的差异。目前的研究 将通过展示一种新颖模式的可行性和有效性来影响和推进该领域 艾滋病毒预防科学中的干预参与，作为更大规模试验的初步数据，以及 提高非裔美国人社区的艾滋病毒预防意识。
