项目摘要
Doctoral student Martina Thomas, supervised by Dr. Jason A. DeCaro, will use cultural consensus, consonance, and ecocultural theories to investigate the social ecology of HIV risk knowledge and behavior. Using mixed qualitative and quantitative ethnographic methods, this project investigates how adolescents' "multiple worlds," modeled through ecocultural theory, contribute to variation in HIV risk knowledge and behavior, and what features of these multiple worlds contribute to poor health outcomes or to greater resiliency. Multiple worlds are bounded areas, such as families, schools, or neighborhoods, where cultural meaning and behavior familiar to the insiders of each world can be identified. The researchers posit that variation in HIV risk knowledge and behavior will be associated with social integration, social support, HIV risk perception, and the goals, expectations, and values identified across the multiple worlds occupied by adolescents.The project's sample draws from African American teens living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, an ideal location for this study. Alabama has among the lowest rates of condom use among high school students. African Americans represented 26 percent of the state's population, but 64 percent of reported HIV infections in 2011. Risk is high among girls living under adverse economic conditions, due to lack of resources, gender inequality, partner concurrency, and inconsistent condom use. Female youth living in disadvantaged communities will be observed and interviewed for this project. A major contribution of the project will be to describe how socio-cultural influences contribute to HIV risk knowledge and how knowledge is converted to practice in adolescence. This study will provide insights to modify HIV/AIDS interventions, by addressing gaps in knowledge of HIV risk and gaining access to potential cultural brokers that girls view as important sources of help in reaching their goals. In this way, the project will assist health and social science researchers in understanding how to reduce risk behaviors and decrease new HIV infections.
博士生玛蒂娜托马斯,由博士监督。DeCaro将使用文化共识,和谐和生态文化理论来调查艾滋病毒风险知识和行为的社会生态。该项目使用定性和定量的人种学方法,调查青少年的“多个世界”,通过生态文化理论建模,有助于艾滋病毒风险知识和行为的变化,以及这些多个世界的哪些特征有助于健康状况不佳或更大的弹性。多个世界是有界的区域,如家庭、学校或社区,在那里可以识别每个世界内部人士熟悉的文化意义和行为。研究人员认为,艾滋病毒风险知识和行为的变化将与社会融合,社会支持,艾滋病毒风险感知,以及青少年所占据的多个世界的目标,期望和价值观有关。该项目的样本来自生活在亚拉巴马塔斯卡卢萨的非裔美国青少年,这是本研究的理想地点。亚拉巴马是高中生中安全套使用率最低的州之一。非洲裔美国人占该州人口的26%,但2011年报告的艾滋病毒感染率为64%。由于缺乏资源、性别不平等、伴侣同时存在以及避孕套使用不一致,生活在不利经济条件下的女孩面临的风险很高。该项目将对生活在贫困社区的女青年进行观察和访谈。该项目的一个主要贡献将是说明社会文化影响如何促进艾滋病毒风险知识以及知识如何在青少年中转化为实践。这项研究将为修改艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预措施提供深刻见解,方法是弥补艾滋病毒风险知识方面的差距,并获得潜在的文化经纪人,女孩认为这是实现其目标的重要帮助来源。通过这种方式,该项目将帮助健康和社会科学研究人员了解如何减少风险行为和减少新的艾滋病毒感染。
