项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed NRSA predoctoral fellowship program is aimed at evaluating a situational model of risky sexual behavior in men who have sex with men (MSM). The research program will focus on determining both differential and common predictors/protective factors of sexual risk in a diverse sample of MSM in terms of age and ethnicity. The broad goal of the project is to come to a better understanding of the variables that influence risky sexual behavior in MSM and to shed light on the disparities in the incidence rates of new HIV infection between subgroups of this population (i.e., subgroups based on age and race/ethinicity). The specific aims of the project are the following. Aim 1:Identify situational factors that contribute to MSM engaging in risky sexual behavior. Aim II: Characterize developmental differences in processes that underlie risk for HIV. Aim 111: Explore racial/ethnic differences in situational risk factors. Data will be collected from participants specific to individual sexual encounters in order to facilitate a prospective within-persons situational analysis of risky sexual behavior. This prospective approach to data collection will help to minimize potential bias in recall of the events surrounding inividual sexual encounters. Furthermore, investigating situational (i.e., event-level) predictors of sexual risk has the potential to reveal predictors of risk that may be overlooked by taking more global measures of predictor variables across multiple sexual encounters. This research will also help to better understand the rising incidence rates of HIV infection in young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and greater prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Black and Latino MSM by helping to differntiate between situational variables that predict risky sexual behavior in these subgroups of MSM. By better understanding the variables the predict why YMSM and Black and Latino MSM seem to be at higher risk for acquiring HIV, researchers, community agencies, and clinicians will be better informed in preventing risky sexual behavior in these groups of MSM. In terms of long-term career development, the predoctoral fellowship will aid me in developing the skills necessary to achieve the broader goal of pursuing a career as a research scientist in an academic research institution. With this goal in mind, the training program will consist of working under the mentorship of Dr. Brian Mustanski in pursuing didactic training in research methodology, protocol development and biostatistics that will be critical in successfully completing the proposed investigation as well as pursuing my long-term career goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的 NRSA 博士前奖学金计划旨在评估男男性行为者 (MSM) 的危险性行为情景模型。该研究计划将重点确定不同年龄和种族的 MSM 样本中性风险的差异和共同预测因素/保护因素。该项目的总体目标是更好地了解影响 MSM 危险性行为的变量，并揭示该人群亚组（即基于年龄的亚组）之间新发 HIV 感染发病率的差异。和种族/民族）。该项目的具体目标如下。目标 1：确定导致 MSM 从事危险性行为的情境因素。目标 II：描述构成 HIV 风险的过程中的发育差异。目标 111：探索情境风险因素中的种族/民族差异。将从参与者处收集特定于个人性遭遇的数据，以便于对危险性行为进行前瞻性的人内情境分析。这种前瞻性的数据收集方法将有助于最大限度地减少回忆个人性接触事件时的潜在偏见。此外，调查性风险的情景（即事件水平）预测因素有可能揭示通过对多次性接触中的预测变量采取更全面的措施而可能被忽视的风险预测因素。这项研究还有助于区分预测危险性行为的情境变量，从而更好地了解男男性行为者 (YMSM) 中艾滋病毒感染发病率的上升以及黑人和拉丁裔男男性接触者中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的患病率。在 MSM 的这些亚组中。通过更好地了解变量来预测 YMSM 以及黑人和拉丁裔 MSM 感染艾滋病毒的风险似乎更高，研究人员、社区机构和临床医生将更好地了解如何预防这些 MSM 群体中的危险性行为。在长期职业发展方面，博士前奖学金将帮助我发展必要的技能，以实现在学术研究机构担任研究科学家的更广泛目标。考虑到这一目标，培训计划将包括在 Brian Mustanski 博士的指导下进行研究方法、方案开发和生物统计学方面的教学培训，这对于成功完成拟议的调查以及追求我的长期目标至关重要。术语职业目标。
