这项初步研究测试了使用Talk Circle方法的可行性，并测量了在美洲土著(切罗基)青年人口中开展的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)预防计划中的文化价值观和信仰。采用描述性相关设计，考察切罗基人的自立行为与HIV/AIDS、丙型肝炎病毒知识、态度和行为的关系。这项研究使用了在预防计划之前和之后进行的三份问卷，从俄克拉荷马州切诺基民族范围内的一所公立高中的41名学生中方便地抽样收集了数据。统计分析显示，前测和后测在有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病和丙型肝炎的知识、态度和行为意图以及切罗基人自力更生的文化动态方面存在直接差异。
This pilot study tests the feasibility of using a Talking Circle approach and measures cultural values and beliefs within a HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevention program conducted among a Native American (Cherokee) youth population. A descriptive correlation design was used to examine the relationship between Cherokee self-reliance and HIV/AIDS and HCV knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The study used three questionnaires that were administered before and after the prevention program to collect data from a convenience sample of 41 students at a public high school within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Statistical analysis revealed immediate differences between pretests and posttests related to knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions concerning HIV/AIDS and HCV and the cultural dynamic of Cherokee self-reliance.
