DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This midcareer investigator award (K24) will provide protected time, resources, and structure that will allow for a progression in my research career trajectory, from a primary focus on HIV prevention, to a more inclusive and extensive conceptualization of prevention in the broader context of sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Further, it will allow me to engage in a comprehensive process of mentorship in the use of mixed methodologies in patient-oriented research. My career development goals are to: 1) expand my knowledge and expertise from HIV prevention alone to a more inclusive focus on sexual and reproductive health, 2) advance an expanded research agenda into the development of effective sexual and reproductive health technologies and interventions, and 3) advance my scholarly role in the use of mixed methods research for health promotion sciences by mentoring fellows and junior investigators in patient oriented research. The proposed mentorship plan will allow me to dedicate the necessary time and effort to fully integrate a comprehensive mixed methods research training program into my mentoring of junior investigators. The proposed research will provide the context for mentoring those investigators. The structured mentorship program will allow me to provide scientific leadership and in-depth methodological training for junior investigators interested in prevention intervention and treatment evaluation research. Through this mentorship in state-of-the-science mixed methods, I will promote the conduct of rigorous health promotion research across a wide range of health promotion sciences. My midcareer development plan will allow me to pursue learning and research activities that broaden my knowledge base and expertise into SRH and help me to better understand user experiences with SRH technologies, and identify those factors that impact use. Critical to use is "acceptability." However, current conceptualizations of adherence and acceptability fail to fully articulate and account for patterns of use and non-use. I propose that a new model of use, "Effective Use," is required, and propose the conduct of a longitudinal prospective mixed methods study to articulate this model. The concept of "Effective Use" begins with an inherent demand for the best user experience. It holds that a user's positive experience drives use, and that because use is maintained by this positive experience, higher exposure to the biomedical intervention (e.g., active ingredient), whether for prevention or treatment, is achieved. Relevance to Public Health: Sexual and reproductive health is a global public health priority. Providing efficacious SRH technologies that have the greatest likelihood of use will have the greatest impact on women's health. If successful, an Effective Use model would offer a new paradigm for the development of sexual and reproductive health technologies for women and their partners that will result in increased use and improved sexual and reproductive health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：该中期护理调查员奖（K24）将提供受保护的时间，资源和结构，从而使我的研究职业轨迹的发展，从对HIV预防的主要重点，到更广泛的性和生殖健康（SRH）更广泛的预防概念。此外，这将使我能够在以患者为导向的研究中使用混合方法来进行全面的指导过程。我的职业发展目标是：1）扩大我的知识和专业知识，将我的知识和专业知识从艾滋病毒的预防扩展到对性和生殖健康的更具包容性的关注，2）将扩大的研究议程提高到有效的性和生殖健康技术和干预措施的发展，以及3）进步我的学术性在对健康促进科学研究中的学术性作用，通过培养促进科学研究，由培养研究人员通过培养研究者和研究人员研究员研究人员研究患者研究员，并研究了患者的研究。拟议的指导计划将使我能够将必要的时间和精力全面地整合到我对初级研究人员的指导中。拟议的研究将为指导这些调查人员提供背景。结构化指导计划将使我能够为对预防干预和治疗评估研究感兴趣的初级研究人员提供科学领导和深入的方法论培训。通过这项对科学混合方法的指导，我将促进各种健康促进科学的严格促进健康研究的行为。我的中级发展计划将使我能够从事学习和研究活动，从而将我的知识库和专业知识扩展到SRH中，并帮助我更好地了解SRH技术的用户体验，并确定影响使用使用的因素。使用至关重要的是“可接受性”。但是，当前依从性和可接受性的概念无法完全表达，并说明了使用和不使用的模式。我建议需要一种新的使用模型“有效使用”，并提出进行纵向前瞻性混合方法研究以阐明该模型的行为。 “有效使用”的概念始于对最佳用户体验的固有需求。它认为，用户的积极经验驱动使用，并且由于这种积极的经验可以维持使用，因此可以实现更高的生物医学干预措施（例如，有效成分），无论是用于预防还是治疗。与公共卫生有关：性健康和生殖健康是全球公共卫生的重点。提供最大可能使用可能性的有效SRH技术将对妇女的健康产生最大的影响。如果成功的话，有效的使用模型将为妇女及其伴侣开发性和生殖健康技术提供新的范式，从而增加使用并改善性和生殖健康结果。
