PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The purpose of this proposed K-Award is to promote my development as an independent investigator; and support my program of research involving new media to reduce sexually transmitted infections and improve access to sexual health services for young Black males in urban settings, thereby improving a broad range of health outcomes. As it stands, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a significant health challenge facing the United States. Each year, approximately 20 million individuals are diagnosed with an STI. STIs occur disproportionately in young people ages 13-24. Within this population, young Black males between 18-24 endure compromised sexual reproductive health (SRH) that is substandard compared to that of their non-Black peers. Recent evidence documents the potential power of various forms of new media to promote safer sex behaviors and STI prevention among this population. This study aims to examine if new media can positively inform, educate, and reach young Black males, resulting in improved access to sexual reproductive healthcare and safe sex behaviors. To achieve my career goals, I need additional training in (1) advanced methodological training in data analysis, (2) mixed methods research (3) designing and implementing interventions. The strong mentoring team will help to address my knowledge gaps and support my growth as an independent investigator, ensuring that I reach each milestone during this rigorous process. The proposed research will apply an innovative methodology. This includes conducting a secondary analysis from a Barbershop-Based HIV/STD Risk Reduction for African American/Black Young Men (Aim 1), in-depth interviewing, and social media data mining that will involve transcribing a large body of social media data using natural language processing (Aim 2), and finally a pilot intervention to assess feasibility and acceptability that will include a social media campaign and community partners in an urban setting who have contributed to the current health promotion and risk reduction of this population (Aim 3). The intervention will be designed to be easily disseminated and accessible in the community. At the conclusion, the optimized intervention will be ready to be evaluated in a large-scale randomized controlled trial.

项目总结/摘要 本次K奖的目的是促进我作为独立调查员的发展;以及 支持我的研究计划，包括新媒体，以减少性传播感染和改善 获得性健康服务的年轻黑人男性在城市环境中，从而改善了广泛的 健康成果。目前，根据疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）的数据， 传播感染（STI）是美国面临的重大健康挑战。每年， 大约有2 000万人被诊断患有性传播感染。性传播感染在年轻人中发生的比例过高 年龄13-24岁。在这个人群中，18-24岁的年轻黑人男性忍受着妥协的性生活， 与非黑人同龄人相比，生殖健康（SRH）低于标准。最近的证据 记录了各种形式的新媒体在促进安全性行为和性病方面的潜在力量 在这个人群中预防。这项研究旨在研究新媒体是否能积极地提供信息， 教育和接触年轻的黑人男性，从而改善获得性生殖保健的机会 安全性行为。为了实现我的职业目标，我需要在（1）高级 数据分析方法培训，（2）混合方法研究（3）设计和实施 干预措施。强大的辅导团队将帮助解决我的知识差距，并支持我的成长， 一个独立的调查员，确保我在这个严格的过程中达到每一个里程碑。拟议 研究将采用创新的方法。这包括从 在理发店为非洲裔美国人/黑人青年男子减少艾滋病毒/性传播疾病风险（目标1），深入 采访，社交媒体数据挖掘，将涉及转录大量的社交媒体数据使用 自然语言处理（目标2），最后是试点干预，以评估可行性和可接受性， 将包括一个社会媒体运动和社区合作伙伴在城市环境谁作出了贡献， 目前促进这一人群的健康和减少风险（目标3）。干预措施将被设计为 容易在社区中传播和获取。最后，优化干预将是 准备在大规模随机对照试验中进行评估。
