DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PA-03-107, entitled "NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award", indicates on page 2 that "the R21 mechanism is intended to encourage new exploratory and developmental research projects. ... [An] example could include the unique and innovative use of an existing methodology to explore a new scientific area." This objective perfectly matches the intent of this proposal. We will shift existing prevention methodologies to a new area, namely, from long-term alcohol treatment settings to a brief 4-day alcohol detoxification setting for HIV prevention purposes. Our Stage 1 developmental work will explore the use of brief adaptations of motivational interviewing (BMI) in a new venue (brief alcohol detoxification), with high-risk individuals who traditionally have had limited access to HIV prevention interventions. We will use BMI for HIV/STD prevention with this underserved group of individuals who are not yet likely to be motivated to address the issue of HIV/STD prevention. We will add biological feedback to enhance motivational impact and will explore our novel methods in a culturally diverse setting (45% Alaska Native). During Phase One (Stage 1a developmental phase), we will develop session outlines and intervention manuals through focus groups and key informant interviews. During Phase Two (Stage 1 b exploratory phase), we will test feasibility and utility of the novel application of brief motivational interventions to HIV prevention in culturally diverse clients in brief alcohol detoxification treatment. We will explore three interventions with 25 individuals per condition and with a 3-month follow-up: (a) Risk Assessment Intervention: participants respond to a standard risk assessment protocol, receive standard HIV/STD risk reduction information and referral to community services; (b) Motivational Interviewing Intervention: participants respond to a risk assessment protocol and receive an HIV/STD prevention intervention based on brief adaptations of motivational interviewing, including personalized risk feedback, personalized risk reduction plans, behavioral skills training, and referral to relevant community services; and (c) Motivational Interviewing and Biological Feedback Intervention: participants receive intervention (b) AND pre-test counseling AND provide a biological specimen for STD testing, followed by post-test counseling, STD test feedback, and referral for treatment. All individuals will be assessed after three months. Our exploratory work will produce session outlines and manuals as well as laying the foundation for an RO1 proposal that will use a rigorous experimental design to test the novel strategies developed in the current study.

描述(由申请人提供)：PA-03-107，题为“NIH探索/发展研究资助奖”，在第2页指出，“R21机制旨在鼓励新的探索和发展研究项目。……[一个]例子可以包括独特和创新地使用现有方法来探索一个新的科学领域。”这一目标与这项提议的意图完全一致。我们将把现有的预防方法转移到一个新的领域，即从长期戒酒环境转变为短暂的4天戒酒环境，以预防艾滋病毒。我们的第一阶段开发工作将探索在一个新的地点(短暂戒酒)使用简短的动机访谈(BMI)的改编，与传统上获得艾滋病毒预防干预措施的高危个人一起。我们将使用BMI来预防艾滋病毒/性传播疾病，而这群服务不足的人还不太可能有动力解决预防艾滋病毒/性传播疾病的问题。我们将增加生物反馈以增强激励效果，并将在文化多元化的环境中探索我们的新方法(45%阿拉斯加原住民)。在第一阶段(第一阶段a发展阶段)，我们将通过重点小组和主要线人访谈，制定会议大纲和干预手册。在第二阶段(第一阶段b探索阶段)，我们将测试在短暂戒酒治疗中，在不同文化背景的患者中应用简短的激励干预措施预防艾滋病毒的可行性和有效性。我们将探索三种干预措施，每种情况25人，并进行为期3个月的跟踪：(A)风险评估干预：参与者对标准的风险评估方案做出反应，接受标准的艾滋病毒/性传播疾病风险降低信息和转诊至社区服务；(B)激励性访谈干预：参与者对风险评估方案做出反应，并接受基于对动机访谈的简要调整的艾滋病毒/性传播疾病预防干预，包括个性化风险反馈、个性化风险降低计划、行为技能培训和转诊至相关社区服务；(C)动机访谈和生物反馈干预：参与者接受干预(B)和测试前咨询，并提供用于性病检测的生物标本，然后是测试后咨询、STD检测反馈和转诊治疗。所有个人将在三个月后接受评估。我们的探索性工作将产生会议大纲和手册，并为RO1提案奠定基础，该提案将使用严格的实验设计来测试当前研究中开发的新策略。
