DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The rate of HIV/AIDS infection is higher in rural America than in urban areas. Unfortunately, the number of behavioral health providers who practice in rural communities is disproportionately small. Moreover, these rural health care providers are often not adequately trained to address the needs of their HIV/AIDS patients. The goal of the proposed research is to develop a distance education course titled Psychiatric & Psychosocial Conditions of HIV/AIDS Patients: An e-Learning Course for Rural Behavioral Health Providers that will provide rural practitioners with a convenient, online method to acquire basic education on the critical topic of HIV/AIDS. The course will include specific information on: a) the importance of prevention and treatment adherence, b) identification and treatment of co-occurring mental health and neurological disorders, c) unique challenges within rural communities, such as heightened stigmatization, d) addressing HIV/AIDS-related emotional issues, e) understanding ethical issues, and f) strategies for assisting HIV/AIDS patients and their families, partners, friends, and caregivers in coping with this distressing diagnosis. The proposed course directly addresses the priorities of the NIMH Division of AIDS and Health and Behavior Research by providing practitioner training that offers knowledge, tools, and strategies to help prevent further HIV/AIDS transmission, promote understanding of neuropsychiatric consequences related to HIV/AIDS infection, and reduce the burden of mental illness from medical co-morbidities, non- adherence to treatment, stigma, and health disparities. The Psychiatric & Psychosocial Conditions of HIV/AIDS Patients course will be delivered through the Terra Nova e-Learning Center, an existing, multifeatured, web-based training environment. The course will provide practitioners with CME/CEU credit opportunities, and will also be suitable for a secondary audience of masters- and graduate-level students of behavioral health disciplines. During Phase I, Terra Nova will research and outline the entire Psychiatric & Psychosocial Conditions of HIV/AIDS Patients course and develop a single web-based Prototype Module to establish proof-of- concept for the final Phase II end-product. Terra Nova will also produce a Sample Patient Brochure, one in an eventual series of informational, outreach materials for providers to disburse directly to patients. Both the Prototype Module and ultimate course will include rigorously researched and tested content, assessment instruments, compelling case examples, personal reflections from practitioners, and innovative multimedia components. Funding for this project is being sought through the NIH SBIR program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE Rural behavioral health providers generally have insufficient knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and find it challenging not only to treat their HIV+ patients but also to acquire training to improve their understanding of this complicated disease. Psychiatric & Psychosocial Conditions of HIV/AIDS Patients: An e-Learning Course for Rural Behavioral Health Providers will provide psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, alternative/complementary medicine practitioners, and counselors with much-needed knowledge on a variety of critical HIV/AIDS topics in a convenient, distance learning format. The course will offer practical strategies and skills that mental health professionals can implement to: a) help prevent spread of HIV infection in their communities, b) assist in their identification and treatment of mental health-related conditions that co-exist with HIV/AIDS, c) help patients and their families deal with stigma and many emotional issues inherent with the HIV/AIDS diagnosis, and e) help address the unique health disparities that exist in rural environments.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国农村地区的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染率高于城市地区。不幸的是，在农村社区执业的行为健康提供者的数量不成比例。此外，这些农村卫生保健提供者通常经常接受足够的培训来满足其艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的需求。拟议的研究的目的是开发艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的远程教育课程：艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的精神病和社会心理状况：针对农村行为卫生提供者的电子学习课程，该课程将为农村从业人员提供方便，在线方法，以获取有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病关键主题的基础教育。 The course will include specific information on: a) the importance of prevention and treatment adherence, b) identification and treatment of co-occurring mental health and neurological disorders, c) unique challenges within rural communities, such as heightened stigmatization, d) addressing HIV/AIDS-related emotional issues, e) understanding ethical issues, and f) strategies for assisting HIV/AIDS patients and their families, partners, friends, and caregivers in应对这种令人痛苦的诊断。 The proposed course directly addresses the priorities of the NIMH Division of AIDS and Health and Behavior Research by providing practitioner training that offers knowledge, tools, and strategies to help prevent further HIV/AIDS transmission, promote understanding of neuropsychiatric consequences related to HIV/AIDS infection, and reduce the burden of mental illness from medical co-morbidities, non- adherence to treatment, stigma, and health disparities.艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者课程的精神病和心理社会状况将通过Terra Nova电子学习中心（现有的，基于网络的培训环境）进行。该课程将为从业人员提供CME/CEU信用机会，也适用于行为健康学科的硕士和研究生级学生的二级受众。在第一阶段，Terra Nova将研究和概述艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者课程的整个精神病和社会心理状况，并开发一个基于Web的原型模块，以建立最终II期最终产品的概念。 Terra Nova还将制作一个样本患者手册，其中一本是最终的一系列信息外展材料，供提供者直接向患者展开。原型模块和最终课程都将包括经过严格研究和测试的内容，评估工具，引人入胜的案例示例，从业者的个人反思以及创新的多媒体组件。 NIH SBIR计划正在寻求该项目的资金。 公共卫生相关性的农村行为健康提供者通常对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的了解不足，并且发现不仅要治疗其艾滋病毒+患者，而且要获得培训以提高他们对这种复杂疾病的理解。艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的精神病和社会心理状况：针对农村行为健康提供者的电子学习课程将为精神科医生，心理学家，社会工作者，护士，替代/补充医学从业人员以及辅导员提供有关各种关键的HIV/AIDS主题的知识，以方便，远程学习的格式，他们非常需要知识。该课程将提供精神卫生专业人员可以实施的实用策略和技能：a）帮助防止艾滋病毒感染在其社区中的传播，b）帮助他们识别和治疗与心理健康相关的疾病，与艾滋病毒/艾滋病共存，c）帮助患者及其家人处理污名和与HIV/hiv固有的情绪问题，以帮助诊断诊断的诊断，并在诊断中存在诊断，并在诊断中存在。
