儿童与艾滋病问题联合学习倡议最近建议，撒哈拉以南非洲受艾滋病毒和艾滋病影响儿童方案应向家庭提供更多支助。研究人员、决策者以及社区和非政府组织越来越有兴趣让男子参与这种面向家庭的干预措施。然而，缺乏关于撒哈拉以南非洲不同环境下男子参与儿童事务的高质量数据。此外，有限的研究审查了他们在为受艾滋病毒和艾滋病影响的儿童和家庭提供情感、物质支持和保护方面的作用。在本文中，我们描述了有关男子和家庭，特别是父亲，在正在进行的撒哈拉以南非洲地区的调查和纵向人口队列的数据的可用性。我们讨论的概念和测量问题与数据收集男性参与这些类型的研究。我们审议了在住户调查和人口群组中改进男子和家庭数据收集工作的机会，以便为设计和评价针对受艾滋病毒和艾滋病影响儿童的以家庭为中心的干预措施提供信息。
The Joint Learning Initiative on Children and AIDS recently recommended that programmes for children affected by HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa direct more support to families. Interest has grown in including men in such family-orientated interventions by researchers, policy makers, and community and non-governmental organizations. However, there is a lack of good quality data on men's involvement with children in the diverse settings in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, limited research has examined their role in providing emotional, material support and protection for HIV- and AIDS-affected children and families. In this paper, we describe the availability of data about men and families, in particular fathers, in ongoing sub-Saharan African surveys and longitudinal population cohorts. We discuss the conceptual and measurement issues associated with data collection on men's involvement in these types of studies. We consider the opportunities for improving the collection of data about men and families in household surveys and population cohorts in order to inform the design and evaluation of family-centred interventions for children affected by HIV and AIDS.
