背景资料：本文介绍了一个同行主导的试点干预称为“性感健康嘉年华”（SHC），采取了基于实力的方法，以促进土著青年性健康的文化安全的背景下。研究方法：2014年，土著青年领导人将SHC带到加拿大安大略的四个powwows，在那里他们对154名参与SHC的土著青年（16至25岁）进行了离线iPad调查。这项调查收集了关于艾滋病毒预防行为和意图以及特别困难情况处理办法在祈祷场合的可接受性的描述性数据。结果如下：超过三分之一（40%）的年轻人认为在仪式上发生了“很多”性行为; 14%的人报告说他们“肯定”或“可能”会在仪式上“勾搭”或与某人发生性关系，另有14%的人不确定。在考虑性行为的人中，79%的人说他们会使用在SHC收到的避孕套。大多数青年（80%）将SHC评为“令人敬畏”。“结论：这项试点提供了初步证据，表明SHC是可行的，并受到青年人的欢迎。该项目表明，土著青年有能力为彼此开发成功的性健康推广和艾滋病毒预防资源。
Background: This article introduces a peer-led pilot intervention called the "Sexy Health Carnival" (SHC) that takes a strengths-based approach to promoting Indigenous youth sexual health in a culturally safe context. Methods: In 2014, Indigenous youth leaders brought the SHC to four Ontario, Canada, powwows, where they administered an offline iPad survey to 154 Indigenous youth (aged 16 to 25) who engaged with the SHC. The survey gathered descriptive data on HIV prevention behaviours and intentions, and the acceptability of the SHC approach in powwow settings. Results: Over one third (40%) of youth thought that "a lot" of sex happens at powwows; 14% reported that they were either "definitely" or "probably" going to "hook up" or be sexual with someone at the powwow, and another 14% were not sure. Among those contemplating sexual activity, 79% said they would use a condom that they received at the SHC. The majority (80%) of youth rated the SHC as "awesome." Conclusion: This pilot provides preliminary evidence that the SHC is feasible and welcomed by youth in powwow settings. This project illustrates that Indigenous youth are capable of developing successful sexual health outreach and HIV prevention resources for each other.
