PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The purpose of this proposed K-Award is to promote my development as an independent investigator; and support my program of research involving new media to reduce sexually transmitted infections and improve access to sexual health services for young Black males in urban settings, thereby improving a broad range of health outcomes. As it stands, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a significant health challenge facing the United States. Each year, approximately 20 million individuals are diagnosed with an STI. STIs occur disproportionately in young people ages 13-24. Within this population, young Black males between 18-24 endure compromised sexual reproductive health (SRH) that is substandard compared to that of their non-Black peers. Recent evidence documents the potential power of various forms of new media to promote safer sex behaviors and STI prevention among this population. This study aims to examine if new media can positively inform, educate, and reach young Black males, resulting in improved access to sexual reproductive healthcare and safe sex behaviors. To achieve my career goals, I need additional training in (1) advanced methodological training in data analysis, (2) mixed methods research (3) designing and implementing interventions. The strong mentoring team will help to address my knowledge gaps and support my growth as an independent investigator, ensuring that I reach each milestone during this rigorous process. The proposed research will apply an innovative methodology. This includes conducting a secondary analysis from a Barbershop-Based HIV/STD Risk Reduction for African American/Black Young Men (Aim 1), in-depth interviewing, and social media data mining that will involve transcribing a large body of social media data using natural language processing (Aim 2), and finally a pilot intervention to assess feasibility and acceptability that will include a social media campaign and community partners in an urban setting who have contributed to the current health promotion and risk reduction of this population (Aim 3). The intervention will be designed to be easily disseminated and accessible in the community. At the conclusion, the optimized intervention will be ready to be evaluated in a large-scale randomized controlled trial.

项目摘要/摘要 该提议的K-宣告的目的是促进我作为独立研究者的发展。和 支持我涉及新媒体的研究计划，以减少性传播感染并改善 在城市环境中为年轻的黑人男性获得性健康服务，从而改善了广泛的范围 健康结果。就目前而言，根据疾病控制和预防中心的性别[CDC] 传播感染（ETI）是美国面临的重大健康挑战。每年， 大约有2000万个人被诊断出患有性传播感染。年轻人发生性传播感染不成比例 年龄13-24岁。在这个人群中，18-24岁之间的年轻黑人忍受了性损害 与非黑色同伴相比，生殖健康（SRH）不合格。最近的证据 记录各种形式的新媒体的潜在力量，以促进更安全的性行为和STI 该人群的预防。这项研究旨在检查新媒体是否可以积极告知， 教育并接触年轻的黑人男性，从而改善了获得性生殖保健的机会 和安全的性行为。为了实现我的职业目标，我需要（1）高级培训 数据分析中的方法学培训，（2）混合方法研究（3）设计和实施 干预措施。强大的指导团队将有助于解决我的知识差距，并支持我的成长 一个独立的研究人员，确保我在这个严格的过程中达到每个里程碑。提议 研究将采用创新方法。这包括从 基于理发店的艾滋病毒/性病风险降低非裔美国人/黑人年轻人（AIM 1），深入 采访和社交媒体数据挖掘将涉及使用大量社交媒体数据使用 自然语言处理（AIM 2），最后是试点干预措施，以评估可行性和可接受性 将在城市环境中包括社交媒体运动和社区合作伙伴 当前的健康促进和降低该人群的风险（AIM 3）。干预将被设计为 在社区中很容易传播和访问。最后，优化的干预措施将是 准备在大规模的随机对照试验中进行评估。
