DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to evaluate the effectiveness of the Health Justice Men in Life Environments (MILE) Intervention -- adapted from the Men of African American Legacy Empowering Self (MAALES) Project -- a newly developed, culturally congruent intervention to reduce HIV risk-related behaviors and improve psychosocial outcomes among post-incarcerated men who have sex with men and women (MSMW). The small group MILE intervention involves six two-hour group sessions, lead by two ethnically matched co-facilitators. In addition, control and intervention participants will received ongoing access to support services for successful reentry. In the proposed study, we will conduct a Phase 2a test of the intervention with a total of 260 MSMW, evenly randomized to intervention and control conditions. Survey assessments will occur at baseline and immediately and 3-months post intervention conclusion, with STD testing at baseline and three months. This project will be among the first to develop and test an HIV risk-reduction intervention designed specifically for African American post-incarcerated MSMW. Study aims are as follows: (1) to describe the social and sexual networks of recently incarcerated, bisexual African American men and examine factors associated HIV risk in this population; and (2) to evaluate the impact of the Health Justice MILE intervention on rates of condom use, sex while under the influence, and number of sex partners; (3) to evaluate the impact of the Health Justice MILE on HIV stigma and racial/cultural pride; and (4) to evaluate the impact of the Health Justice MILE on STD incidence among recently incarcerated bisexual, African American men. The intervention will be implemented by The Center for Health Justice - a community-based HIV prevention and care advocacy organization that has worked with incarcerated and post-incarcerated populations since 1997 - in collaboration with study investigators. This rapid adaptation and implementation approach should increase the dissemination and applicability of the intervention to other locales and settings should it prove to be effective. LAY DESCRIPTION: Reducing HIV and STD infection risk among African American men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) requires interventions that address incarceration and bisexuality. This project aims to evaluate a new intervention - Health Justice MILE - to reduce risk behavior and STDs among recently incarcerated African American MSMW using a culturally congruent, small group intervention.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议评估生活环境中的健康正义男性 (MILE) 干预措施的有效性，该干预措施改编自非裔美国人传统赋权自我 (MAALES) 项目，是一项新开发的、文化上一致的干预措施，旨在减少与男女发生性关系的监禁后男性 (MSMW) 的艾滋病毒风险相关行为并改善心理社会结果。小组 MILE 干预包括六次每次两小时的小组会议，由两名种族匹配的共同主持人主持。此外，控制和干预参与者将持续获得支持服务，以成功重返大气层。在拟议的研究中，我们将进行 2a 期干预测试，总共 260 MSMW，均匀随机分配到干预和控制条件。调查评估将在基线、干预结束后立即和 3 个月进行，并在基线和三个月进行 STD 检测。该项目将是首批开发和测试专为非裔美国人监禁后 MSMW 设计的降低艾滋病毒风险干预措施的项目之一。研究目的如下：（1）描述最近被监禁的双性恋非洲裔美国男性的社会和性网络并检查因素 该人群的相关艾滋病毒风险； (2) 评估健康正义 MILE 干预措施对安全套使用率、酒后性行为以及性伴侣数量的影响； (3) 评估健康正义 MILE 对艾滋病毒耻辱和种族/文化自豪感的影响； (4) 评估健康正义 MILE 对最近被监禁的双性恋非裔美国男性 STD 发病率的影响。 该干预措施将由健康正义中心与研究人员合作实施，该中心是一个以社区为基础的艾滋病毒预防和护理倡导组织，自 1997 年以来一直与被监禁和监禁后人群合作。如果证明有效，这种快速适应和实施方法应该会增加干预措施在其他地区和环境中的传播和适用性。简单描述：降低男女性行为 (MSMW) 的非裔美国男性感染艾滋病毒和性病的风险需要采取干预措施来解决监禁和双性恋问题。 该项目旨在评估一项新的干预措施——健康正义 MILE——通过文化上一致的小团体干预措施来减少最近被监禁的非裔美国人 MSMW 的风险行为和性传播疾病。
