你的祝福健康（YBH）是一个基于信仰的艾滋病毒预防试点计划，旨在提高基于信仰的组织的能力，以解决非洲裔美国人教会中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病。信仰领袖（例如，牧师、牧师的配偶）接受培训，以提供青年和成人艾滋病毒教育课程。方案实施后，对讨论11个性健康主题的舒适感进行了评估。29名宗教领袖自我报告了他们在讨论性行为、性交流和性虐待时的舒适感。总的来说，信仰领袖很舒服讨论这些性健康话题，但是，宗教和领导角色的差异被发现。这些研究结果表明，非洲裔美国人的信仰领袖愿意领导基于信仰的艾滋病预防工作，但考虑宗教的差异和组织角色在基于信仰的健康促进计划是至关重要的。
YOUR Blessed Health (YBH) is a faith-based HIV prevention pilot program designed to increase faith-based organizations' capacity to address HIV/AIDS among African American congregations. Faith leaders (e.g., pastors, pastors' spouses) were trained to deliver youth and adult HIV education sessions. Perceptions of comfort with discussing 11 sexual health topics were assessed after program implementation. Twenty-nine faith leaders self-reported their comfort discussing sexual behaviors, sexual communication, and sexual abuse. Overall, faith leaders were comfortable discussing these sexual health topics; however, denominational and leadership role differences were found. These findings suggest African American faith leaders are willing to lead faith-based HIV prevention efforts, but that consideration of denominational differences and organizational roles in faith-based health promotion programs is critical.
