焦点小组是有用的，以支持艾滋病毒预防研究在美国亚群，如黑人同性恋，黑人双性恋，和其他黑人性少数民族男子（BSMM）。虚拟同步焦点小组提供了一种电子手段，以获得定性数据，并方便实施，但是，协议和可接受性进行虚拟同步焦点小组在BSMM艾滋病预防研究中缺乏。本文描述了在BSMM中进行HIV预防研究的虚拟同步焦点小组的协议和可接受性，本研究的数据来自美国城市2项HIV阴性BSMM研究中检查的8个虚拟同步焦点小组，按年龄分层（N=39）：2组BSMM年龄为18-24岁，5组BSMM年龄为25-34岁，1组BSMM年龄为35岁及以上。通过Zoom进行虚拟同步焦点小组，并要求参与者完成通过Qualtrics分发到其电子邮件中的电子满意度调查。参与者的年龄范围为18至44岁（平均28.3岁，SD 6.0）。所有参与者“强烈同意”或“同意”他们对参与在线焦点小组感到满意。只有17%（5/30）的患者更愿意提供书面知情同意书而不是口头知情同意书。关于隐私，大多数（30/30，100%）报告“非常同意”或“同意”与组中的其他参与者共享他们的信息是安全的。此外，97%（29/30）的受访者对激励措施表示满意。在BSMM中进行虚拟同步焦点小组在艾滋病预防研究中是可行的。然而，需要充分的口头知情同意，并有多种提问机会，文化上相关的便利程序，以及适当的激励措施，以实现焦点小组的最佳参与。
Focus groups are useful to support HIV prevention research among US subpopulations, such as Black gay, Black bisexual, and other Black sexual minority men (BSMM). Virtual synchronous focus groups provide an electronic means to obtain qualitative data and are convenient to implement; however, the protocols and acceptability for conducting virtual synchronous focus groups in HIV prevention research among BSMM are lacking. This paper describes the protocols and acceptability of conducting virtual synchronous focus groups in HIV prevention research among BSMM Data for this study came from 8 virtual synchronous focus groups examined in 2 studies of HIV-negative BSMM in US cities, stratified by age (N=39): 2 groups of BSMM ages 18-24 years, 5 groups of BSMM ages 25-34 years, and 1 group of BSMM 35 years and older. Virtual synchronous focus groups were conducted via Zoom, and participants were asked to complete an electronic satisfaction survey distributed to their email via Qualtrics. The age of participants ranged from 18 to 44 years (mean 28.3, SD 6.0). All participants “strongly agreed” or “agreed” that they were satisfied participating in an online focus group. Only 17% (5/30) preferred providing written informed consent versus oral consent. Regarding privacy, most (30/30,100%) reported “strongly agree” or “agree” that their information was safe to share with other participants in the group. Additionally, 97% (29/30) reported being satisfied with the incentive. Conducting virtual synchronous focus groups in HIV prevention research among BSMM is feasible. However, thorough oral informed consent with multiple opportunities for questions, culturally relevant facilitation procedures, and appropriate incentives are needed for optimal focus group participation.
