采用多组分研究设计，探讨提供HIV预防计划的社区组织的组织特征，以及这些组织在判断外部开发的HIV预防计划的优点时所采用的标准。对伊利诺伊州随机挑选的38家艾滋病毒预防提供者的组织代表进行了深入访谈。结果表明，采用组织主要有三种类型：整个项目的采纳者、项目组成部分和实践的采纳者和共同想法的采纳者。这三种类型的组织根据其对艾滋病毒预防的组织承诺水平、组织资源和组织成熟度水平来区分。访谈中的叙述性数据被用来描述组织采用计划标准所依据的维度。这些组织用来评估预防方案的功绩标准为现有的技术转让理论提供了部分经验支持。讨论了设计和传播艾滋病毒预防计划的意义。
A multiple cast, study design was used to explore the organizational characteristics of community-based organizations that provide HIV prevention programs and the criteria these organizations employ when judging the merits of externally-developed HIV prevention programs. In-depth interviews were conducted with organizational representatives of 38 randomly-selected HIV prevention providers throughout Illinois. Results indicated that there were three main types of adopting organizations: adopters of entire programs, adopters of program components and practices, and adopters of common ideas. These three types of organizations were distinguished by their level of organizational commitment to HIV prevention, organizational resources, and level of organizational maturity. Narrative data from the interviews are used to describe the dimensions that underlie the organizations' program adoption criteria. The criteria of merit used by these organizations to evaluate prevention programs provide partial empirical support for existing theories of technology transfer. Implications for designing and disseminating HIV prevention programs are discussed.
