非洲裔美国青少年女性受艾滋病毒流行病的影响不成比例。最近的研究结果表明，性别和文化上适当的艾滋病毒预防干预措施可以显着减少艾滋病毒相关的性风险行为在这一脆弱群体。目前，还没有针对这一弱势亚组的循证干预措施（EBI）。因此，迫切需要专门针对这一亚组的干预措施。减少艾滋病毒危险行为的有效干预措施仍然是遏制艾滋病毒流行的最有力工具之一。选定的干预措施（地平线）进行了调整，使用协调和系统指导的适应过程的基础上ADAPT-ITT框架。本文作为支持使用ADAPT-ITT模型的起点，当在不同于最初创建的其他设置中使用EBI时，ADAPT-ITT模型是有益的。事实证明，使用这种规范性方法为被监禁的年轻女孩调整地平线是一种节省时间和成本的方法。
African American adolescent females are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. Recent findings suggest that gender- and culturally appropriate HIV prevention interventions can significantly reduce HIV-associated sexual risk behaviors among this vulnerable population. Currently, there are no evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for this vulnerable subgroup. Thus, interventions specifically tailored for this subgroup are urgently needed. Effective interventions that reduce HIV risk behaviors remain one of the most powerful tools in curbing the HIV epidemic. The selected intervention (Horizons) was adapted using a coordinated and systematically guided adaptation process based on the ADAPT-ITT framework. This article serves as a starting point to support using the ADAPT-ITT model, which was beneficial when using an EBI in an alternative setting than originally created. Using this prescriptive method for adapting Horizons for incarcerated young girls proved to be a time- and cost-effective method.
