项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "Qualitative methods for public health research: HIV/STI prevention in China" is a two-year, predoctoral training program of innovative and interdisciplinary research, teaching, and professional academic experiences culminating in a doctorate degree and preparing the applicant for public health research career. The training plan supports the National Institute of Mental Health, Division of AIDS and Health and Behavior Research (DAHBR) aim to "develop and disseminate behavioral interventions that prevent HIV/AIDS transmission" and addresses DAHBR's high priority to support "innovative, interdisciplinary HIV prevention research designed to better understand individual, dyadic, community, social, and structural factors that impact HIV risk-reduction". The application is a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, and the Chinese National Center for STD Control. A major component of the application is a dissertation study entitled, "Migration, work, and HIV/STI risk among male migrant workers in three Chinese cities". China has over 120 million rural to urban migrant workers and growing epidemics of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). While research has documented associations between migration and increased risk for HIV, limited work has identified specific risks Chinese migrant populations face. This study aims to describe and compare the migration, work, HIV/STI health and education needs, and relational histories of rural to urban migrant men, and migrant men who find work selling sex in Chinese cities. Data collection will take place during a 6 month fieldwork period in China using qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, mapping exercises, and participant observation. Additionally, this application includes coursework, teaching, conference participation, work on existing research projects, and mentorship activities with leading U.S and Chinese researchers. Relevance: The proposed application will benefit public health by gathering information about work-related health hazards, individual risk behaviors and high-risk social and structural situations for HIV, and health education and service needs among a large, underserved population. This information can be used to improve work environments, design better HIV outreach services, and advocate for policy reform. Collaborating with Chinese researchers will also continue to build U.S.-China diplomatic research relationships for the benefit of better addressing public health concerns in both countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：“公共卫生研究的定性方法：中国的艾滋病毒/性传播感染预防”是一个为期两年的博士前培训项目，内容包括创新和跨学科研究、教学和专业学术经验，最终获得博士学位并准备公共卫生研究职业的申请人。该培训计划支持国家心理健康研究所艾滋病和健康与行为研究部 (DAHBR) 的目标“制定和传播预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播的行为干预措施”，并强调 DAHBR 的高度优先事项是支持“创新的、跨学科的艾滋病毒预防”旨在更好地了解影响艾滋病毒风险降低的个人、二元、社区、社会和结构因素的研究”。该应用程序是约翰霍普金斯大学公共卫生学院、北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校医学院和中国国家性病预防控制中心之间的合作。该申请的一个主要组成部分是一篇题为“中国三个城市男性农民工的迁移、工作和艾滋病毒/性传播感染风险”的论文研究。中国有超过 1.2 亿农民工进入城市，艾滋病毒和性传播感染 (STI) 的流行日益严重。尽管研究已经记录了移民与艾滋病毒风险增加之间的关联，但有限的工作已经确定了中国移民人口面临的具体风险。本研究旨在描述和比较农村和城市流动男性以及在中国城市找到卖淫工作的流动男性的流动、工作、艾滋病毒/性传播感染健康和教育需求以及关系历史。数据收集将在中国进行为期 6 个月的实地考察，采用定性方法，包括深度访谈、制图练习和参与观察。此外，该应用程序还包括课程作业、教学、会议参与、现有研究项目的工作以及与美国和中国领先研究人员的指导活动。相关性：拟议的应用程序将通过收集有关与工作相关的健康危害、个人风险行为和艾滋病毒高风险社会和结构状况以及大量服务不足的人群的健康教育和服务需求的信息，有益于公共健康。这些信息可用于改善工作环境、设计更好的艾滋病毒外展服务以及倡导政策改革。与中国研究人员的合作还将继续建立美中外交研究关系，以更好地解决两国的公共卫生问题。
