目的有大量证据表明黑人社区存在艾滋病毒危机，但非洲裔美国人--特别是非洲裔美国人--在艾滋病毒预防研究中的代表性一直较低。本文的目的是描述在费城招募和留住年轻黑人男性进行艾滋病毒预防干预的方法。方法我们在社区成员、媒体教育娱乐(MEE)制作公司和科罗拉多公共卫生学院(CSPH)的学术研究人员之间建立了合作伙伴关系。认识到以社区为基础的参与性研究(CBPR)的核心原则，MEE首先在社区合作伙伴的帮助下进行面对面招募；随后的招募和数据收集由科罗拉多州的工作人员通过电话进行。结果我们招募了58%的招募年轻黑人男性，保留了77%的年轻男性在3个月后进行跟踪调查，65%的初始参与者被保留用于6个月的跟踪调查。科罗拉多州的招生工作人员报告说，由于招募和注册之间的时间间隔以及参与者对招生工作人员的不熟悉，最初的挑战。随后，教育部招生工作人员强调了科罗拉多州招生工作人员的电话区号和具体姓名。结论：结果表明，在开展这项工作时，形成的社区-学术伙伴关系和遵守CBPR的原则是重要的。尽管在招募种族和民族多样化的研究参与者方面存在挑战，但我们成功地招募、招募和留住了年轻的黑人男性参加艾滋病毒预防计划。
OBJECTIVEThere is abundant evidence of the HIV crisis in the black community, yet African Americans—and African American men in particular—are consistently under-represented in research on HIV prevention. The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods used to recruit and retain young black men in Philadelphia for an HIV prevention intervention.METHODSWe formed a partnership between community members, Media Education Entertainment (MEE) Productions, Inc., and academic researchers of the Colorado School of Public Health (CSPH). Recognizing the core principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR), face-to-face recruitment was first conducted by MEE with the assistance of their community partners; subsequent enrollment and data collection were conducted over the telephone by staff in Colorado.RESULTSWe enrolled 58% of the young black men recruited, retained 77% of the young men for a follow-up survey at three months, and 65% of the initial enrollees were retained for the six-month follow-up survey. Enrollment staff in Colorado reported initial challenges because of time elapse between recruitment and enrollment as well as participants' unfamiliarity with the enrollment staff. Subsequently, MEE recruitment staff emphasized the telephone area code and specific names of Colorado enrollment staff who would call.CONCLUSIONOur results demonstrate the importance of the community–academic partnership formed and adherence to the principles of CBPR in carrying out this work. Despite challenges in recruitment of racially and ethnically diverse participants for research, we successfully recruited, enrolled, and retained young black men in an HIV prevention program.
