目的：了解美国成年人、非裔美国人、拉美裔美国人和男男性行为者(MSM)对艾滋病疫苗研究的态度、意识和知识。方法：应用焦点小组的调查结果和媒体内容分析，设计并实施一项调查，以验证焦点小组和媒体内容分析确定的关键艾滋病疫苗研究主题和信息。在2002年12月至2003年2月期间，共进行了3509次电话访谈，其中包括从普通人群中随机抽取的2008次，非洲裔和西班牙裔美国人中的501名，以及MSM中的500名。结果：尽管大多数人群认为HIV预防性疫苗是控制和结束全球艾滋病流行的最好方法，但只有34.9%的非裔美国人和28.8%的普通人群支持他们认识的人自愿参加All HIV疫苗试验。研究还发现，47.1%的非洲裔美国人、26.5%的西班牙裔美国人和13.4%的MSM认为空气中的艾滋病毒疫苗已经存在并正在保密，而78.0%的非洲裔美国人、57.5%的西班牙裔美国人和68.0%的MSM不知道或错误地认为正在测试的疫苗可能会导致艾滋病毒感染。对一般人群的次级分析还发现，女性对艾滋病毒疫苗研究的了解普遍较少或知晓率较低。结论：对艾滋病毒疫苗研究的认识、知识和态度因人口而异，这些问题必须得到解决，以确保未来国内艾滋病毒预防疫苗临床试验有足够数量的志愿者。在一些人群中，必须针对错误信息和不信任等障碍，增加对艾滋病毒疫苗研究的支持。
Objectives: To assess HIV vaccine research attitudes, awareness, and knowledge among adults in the general US population, African Americans, Hispanics, and men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods: Applying results of focus groups and a media content analysis, a survey was designed and conducted to validate key HIV vaccine research themes and messages identified by focus groups and a media content analysis. Between December 2002 and February 2003, 3509 telephone interviews were conducted, including 2008 randomly selected from the general population, and 501 population-specific samples of African Americans and Hispanics, and 500 from MSM.Results: Although the majority of each Population believes that an HIV preventive vaccine is the best way to control and end the global AIDS epidemic, only 34.9% of African Americans and 28.8% of the general Population are supportive of someone they know volunteering for ail HIV vaccine trial. The Study also found that 47.1% of African Americans, 26.5% of Hispanics, and 13.4% of MSM believed air HIV vaccine already exists and is being kept secret, and 78.0% of African Americans, 57.5% of Hispanics, and 68.0%, of MSM did not know or incorrectly believed that the vaccines being tested could cause HIV infection. A subanalysis of the general Population also found that women generally had less knowledge of or a decreased awareness about HIV vaccine research.Conclusions: Awareness, knowledge, and attitudes toward HIV vaccine research vary by Population and these issues must be addressed to ensure an adequate number of volunteers for future domestic HIV preventive vaccine clinical trials. In some Populations, barriers Such as misinformation and distrust must be targeted to increase support for HIV vaccine research.
