帮助有效克服问题(HOPE)干预措施是由一个基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)伙伴关系开发的，目的是改善患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病的非裔美国男同性恋的心理健康和就业结果。这项干预融合了当地收集的形成性数据、社会认知理论、希望理论和非洲裔美国男同性恋者感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的生活经历。希望干预包括7次每周3小时的小组会议，参与者在基线和干预后3个月进行评估。共有7名非洲裔美国男性参加，他们自认为是同性恋和失业人员。年龄37~57岁，平均46.1岁。在整个干预过程中，参与者发展了设定目标的技能、解决问题的技能、促进健康的行为和求职行为。结果表明，希望干预在改善心理健康和就业结果方面可能是有希望的。
The Helping Overcome Problems Effectively (HOPE) intervention was developed by a community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership to improve mental health and employment outcomes of African American gay men living with HIV/AIDS. The intervention blended locally collected formative data, social cognitive theory, hope theory, and the lived experiences of African American gay men living with HIV/AIDS. The HOPE intervention included 7 weekly 3-hour group sessions, with participant assessment at baseline and 3-month post-intervention. A total of 7 African American men, who self-identified as gay and unemployed, participated. Mean age was 46.1 (range = 37-57) years. Throughout the intervention, participants developed goal-setting skills, problem-solving skills, health-promoting behaviors, and employment seeking behaviors. The results suggest that the HOPE intervention may be promising in improving mental health and employment outcomes.
