DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Latino gay and bisexual men and transgender (GBT) individuals continue to experience relatively high rates of HIV. Stigma towards HIV/AIDS and homosexuality may be one of the causes for those persisting high rates. These stigmas may lead to unsafe sex and HIV infection through their effects on self-esteem, social support, and access to information and resources. Yet, activities to address the stigma of homosexuality and HIV/AIDS within Latino communities are lacking. The overall goal of this research is to reduce stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS as a means to prevent sexual risk behaviors among Latino GBT individuals. We plan to translate findings from our research on Latino GBT community involvement to develop and test an educational documentary film about the lives of Latino GBT individuals who have been activists or volunteers on HIV/AIDS-related issues. The primary target audience for this film will be members of the Latino population (e.g., parents, high school students, and community-based organizations). The secondary audience will include members of the gay, bisexual, lesbian, and transgender communities and organizations working on HIV/AIDS and gay issues. The goal of this Phase I application is to test the scientific and technical feasibility of this educational film as a tool to reduce stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS among Latinos. Specific aims include: 1.To develop an initial script and treatment for the educational documentary film from research findings. 2. To obtain feedback regarding selected themes and their representation in the film. We will recruit a diverse group of Latino GBT individuals who are activists in HIV/AIDS causes in four cities (10 in each city, approximately): New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco. We will also request and secure their participation in the film. 3. To assess the need for the educational documentary film among potential users. 4. To determine the appropriate format and technical elements needed to effectively communicate with our bilingual and multicultural audiences.

描述（由申请人提供）：拉丁裔同性恋、双性恋男性和跨性别者 (GBT) 个体的艾滋病毒感染率仍然相对较高。对艾滋病毒/艾滋病和同性恋的耻辱可能是艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染率持续居高不下的原因之一。这些耻辱可能会影响自尊、社会支持以及获取信息和资源，从而导致不安全性行为和艾滋病毒感染。然而，解决拉丁裔社区内同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病耻辱问题的活动却很缺乏。这项研究的总体目标是减少对同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的耻辱，以此作为预防拉丁裔 GBT 个体中性危险行为的一种手段。我们计划将我们对拉丁裔 GBT 社区参与的研究结果转化为开发和测试一部教育纪录片，讲述曾经是艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关问题活动家或志愿者的拉丁裔 GBT 人士的生活。这部电影的主要目标观众将是拉丁裔人口（例如家长、高中生和社区组织）。次要受众将包括同性恋、双性恋、女同性恋和变性者社区以及致力于艾滋病毒/艾滋病和同性恋问题的组织的成员。第一阶段申请的目的是测试这部教育影片作为减少拉丁裔同性恋和艾滋病毒/艾滋病耻辱的工具的科学和技术可行性。具体目标包括： 1.根据研究结果制定教育纪录片的初步剧本和处理方式。 2. 获取有关所选主题及其在电影中的表现的反馈。我们将在纽约市、华盛顿特区、芝加哥和旧金山这四个城市（每个城市大约 10 名）招募一群多元化的拉丁裔 GBT 人士，他们是艾滋病毒/艾滋病事业的积极分子。我们还将请求并确保他们参与这部电影。 3. 评估潜在用户对教育纪录片的需求。 4. 确定与双语和多元文化受众有效沟通所需的适当格式和技术要素。
