DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Education Development Center, Inc. and Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York will develop and pilot test the Keep It Up: Peak Performance for Life program targeted to African American and other Black young men in high-poverty communities where HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STI), substance use and unintentional pregnancies are elevated. This integrated structural, community, and individual-level intervention embeds HIV behavioral prevention and testing within a comprehensive social marketing and health screening program. This ground-breaking intervention incorporates four core elements: (1) Culturally tailored and male-targeted social marketing campaign to raise awareness about sexual health and the Keep It Up: Peak Performance for Life program; (2) Sexual and general health screening that includes simple, relatively non-invasive biologic testing for HIV, as well hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, lung function and other STI, which are related to longer-term chronic diseases and sexual dysfunction; (3) Brief, engaging computerized HIV behavioral risk reduction that uses video clips and interactive activities to trigger self-assessment of risk, increase motivation for safer behaviors and relationships, model condom use and negotiation skills, and provide normative support; and (4) Personalized health profile and HIV risk reduction plan. Keep It Up seeks to "normalize" HIV prevention and testing in the context of a convenient, relatively non-invasive health check-up for men, similar to routine reproductive health care provided to women. The specific aims are to: 1. Conduct formative research to refine the core elements and content of the Keep It Up: Peak Performance for Life health promotion program for African American and other Black young men; 2. Finalize the Keep It Up: Peak Performance for Life core elements and materials; 3. Collaborate with the CDC multi-site committee to develop evaluation materials that can be used across sites to provide preliminary evidence of whether the intervention leads to change in HIV risk behaviors; 4. Pilot the intervention and enroll a sample of about 100 African American and other Black young men in a repeated-measures pre-post test with a 3-month follow up to determine whether the approach is promising and merits further evaluation. Keep It Up is designed for young men to receive HIV behavioral prevention and HIV testing quickly and conveniently in a non-threatening and non-stigmatized community setting. In addition to HIV prevention, the goal is to market health promotion to a population of African American men who bear a disproportionate burden of not only HIV/AIDS but other chronic conditions that lead to ongoing health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：教育发展中心公司和纽约市立大学 Medgar Evers 学院将开发并试点测试“保持活力：生命巅峰表现”计划，该计划针对的是艾滋病毒、其他性传播感染 (STI)、药物滥用和意外怀孕等高贫困社区的非裔美国人和其他黑人年轻男性。这种综合的结构、社区和个人层面的干预措施将艾滋病毒行为预防和检测嵌入到全面的社会营销和健康筛查计划中。这项开创性的干预措施包含四个核心要素：(1) 针对文化量身定制、以男性为目标的社会营销活动，以提高人们对性健康和“保持活力：终生巅峰表现”计划的认识； （2）性健康和一般健康筛查，包括对艾滋病毒进行简单、相对无创的生物检测，以及与长期慢性疾病和性功能障碍有关的高血压、胆固醇、糖尿病、肺功能和其他性传播感染； (3) 简短、有吸引力的计算机化艾滋病毒行为风险降低，使用视频剪辑和互动活动来引发风险自我评估，增加安全行为和关系的动力，示范安全套使用和谈判技巧，并提供规范支持； (4) 个性化健康档案和艾滋病毒风险降低计划。 Keep It Up 旨在为男性提供方便、相对无创的健康检查，使艾滋病毒预防和检测“正常化”，类似于为女性提供的常规生殖保健服务。具体目标是： 1. 开展形成性研究，完善针对非裔美国人和其他黑人青年的 Keep It Up：生命巅峰表现健康促进计划的核心要素和内容； 2. 最终确定“保持活力：终生巅峰表现”的核心要素和材料； 3. 与CDC多站点委员会合作，开发可跨站点使用的评估材料，为干预措施是否导致HIV危险行为的改变提供初步证据； 4. 试点干预措施，招募约 100 名非裔美国人和其他黑人年轻男性样本，进行重复测量前后测试，并进行 3 个月的随访，以确定该方法是否有希望并值得进一步评估。 Keep It Up 旨在让年轻男性在无威胁和无耻辱的社区环境中快速方便地接受艾滋病毒行为预防和艾滋病毒检测。除了预防艾滋病毒之外，我们的目标是向非洲裔美国男性推销健康促进措施，这些男性不仅承受着艾滋病毒/艾滋病的沉重负担，而且还承受着导致持续健康差距的其他慢性疾病的负担。
