Serial Passage: AIDS, Race, and Culture Phase II

描述（由申请人提供）：连续传代：艾滋病，种族和文化。是一个3-4小时的纪录片系列和课程的增强，审查了科学调查的过程中的发展连续通道/污染针头理论的艾滋病毒/艾滋病的起源，以及对非洲人和非洲裔美国人的大流行病的不成比例的影响。纪录片系列/课程改进的长期目标是提高非洲裔美国人，特别是青少年对预防艾滋病毒的必要性的认识，这些人感染艾滋病毒的风险很高，而且往往对传统的艾滋病毒预防信息反应迟钝。非洲裔美国人占美国人口的12.1%，但占新艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例的近50%。这部纪录片系列是在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡市的一个由20名非裔美国高中生组成的小组中拍摄的。学生们在纪录片系列中担任镜头评估员，电影制作学徒，并最终成为其叙事声音。他们也是研究对象。一份临时评估报告显示，学生对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的认知大幅增加，而他们报告的性活动大幅减少。将通过对非裔美国青少年（高中生）和匹配的对照组进行的前后匿名调查，对该项目进行广泛和具有科学意义的第二阶段评估。美国广播公司和公共广播公司网络已经同意放映这部纪录片系列，以供广播考虑。第二阶段的申请建议：1）完成系列纪录片的编辑和后期制作，2）与课程编写人员和教育视频发行公司合作开发和传播系列纪录片/课程改进。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Serial Passage: AIDS, Race, and Culture. is a 3-4 hour documentary film series and curriculum enhancement that examines the process of scientific inquiry in the development of the serial passage/contaminated needle theory of the origin of HIV/AIDS as well as the disproportionate impact of the pandemic upon Africans and African-Americans. The long term objective of the documentary film series/curriculum enhancement is to foster a heightened awareness of the need for HIV prevention among African-Americans, particularly teenagers, who are at high risk for contracting HIV, and who have often proved unresponsive to traditional HIV prevention messages. African-Americans constitute 12.1 % of the US population but account for almost 50% of the new HIV/AIDS cases. The documentary film series is being made with a small cohort of 20 inner-city African-American high school students in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The students work on the documentary series as footage evaluators, apprentice filmmakers, and will ultimately be its narrative voice. They are also research subjects. An interim evaluation report showed a dramatic increase in the students' perceived knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and a substantial decrease in their reported sexual activity. A widespread and scientifically significant Phase II evaluation of this project would be conducted via pre and post anonymous surveys administered to African-American teenagers, (high school students), and matching control groups. The ABC and PBS networks have already agreed to screen the documentary series for broadcast consideration. The Phase II application proposes to 1) complete editing and postproduction of the documentary series, and 2) work with curriculum writers and an educational video distribution company on the development and dissemination of the documentary series/curriculum enhancement.
