NATIONAL HIV BEHAVIORAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

描述（由申请人提供）：评估艾滋病毒高危人群的风险行为和行为趋势的能力对于解决艾滋病毒流行至关重要。新泽西卫生和高级服务部（NJDHSS）建议开展全国艾滋病毒行为调查， 监视项目，2011-2015年，在纽瓦克联盟，新泽西宾夕法尼亚州大都会区（纽瓦克MD）。纽瓦克医学博士是由新泽西的埃塞克斯，联合，莫里斯，亨特顿和苏塞克斯县，以及宾夕法尼亚州的派克县。截至2009年12月，这五个新泽西县占新泽西累计报告的57,420例艾滋病病例的39%。在新泽西的21个县中，埃塞克斯县的艾滋病发病率最高，累计病例数为15，644例，占该州总病例数的29%。 在该补助金的五年期间，NJDHSS将在第1年和第4年连续评估男男性行为者（MSM）的艾滋病毒风险行为，在第2年和第5年评估注射毒品使用者（IDU），在第3年评估风险增加的异性恋者（HET）。将通过30-45分钟的调查和自愿艾滋病毒检测收集数据。在男男性接触者中，将采用基于场所的抽样（VBS）;根据形成性研究，将每月随机选择男男性接触者聚集的场所。抽样活动将根据场馆最高出席率的日期和时间随机选择。在IDU和HET周期期间，将采用受访者驱动的抽样进行招募。预选的注射吸毒者种子将招募他们知道是注射吸毒者的其他人;同样，HET将试图招募其他HET。MSM和IDU的数据收集将继续进行，直到每个周期总共招募500名合格人员; HET的招募将在招募450名合格参与者后结束。 NHBS的研究结果将通过演讲和出版物与科学和公共卫生界分享。报告将包括通过调查确定的风险和预防行为的流行率和趋势。研究结果可供新泽西艾滋病毒/艾滋病规划小组（NJHPG）等机构用于确定艾滋病毒预防服务的优先事项、规划和评估。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ability to assess risk behaviors and trends in behaviors over time of persons at-risk for HIV is vital to addressing the HIV epidemic. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) proposes to conduct the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Project, 2011-2015, in the Newark-Union, New Jersey Pennsylvania Metropolitan Division (Newark MD). The Newark MD is comprised of Essex, Union, Morris, Hunterdon and Sussex Counties in New Jersey, and Pike County in Pennsylvania. These five New Jersey counties accounted for 39% of the 57,420 cumulative AIDS cases reported in New Jersey as of December 2009. The county of Essex has the greatest AIDS prevalence among New Jersey's twenty-one counties with 15,644 cumulative cases which represents 29% of the state's total case count. Over the five year period of this grant, the NJDHSS will successively assess HIV risk behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Years 1 and 4, injection drug users (IDU) in Years 2 and 5, and heterosexuals at increased risk (HET) in Year 3. Data will be collected through the administration of a 30-45 minute survey and a voluntary HIV test. Among the MSM, venue-based sampling (VBS) will be employed; based upon formative research venues where MSM congregate will be randomly selected on a monthly basis. Sampling events will be randomly selected by upon days and times of highest attendance at the venues. Respondent driven sampling will be employed for recruitment during the IDU and HET cycles. The preselected IDU seeds will be engaged to recruit other persons who they know to be IDU; likewise the HET will attempt to recruit other HET. The data collection for the MSM and IDU will continue until a total of 500 eligible persons are enrolled per cycle; recruitment for HET will close with the enrollment of 450 eligible participants. The research findings from the NHBS will be shared with the scientific and public health community through presentations and publications. Reports will include the prevalence and trends in risk and prevention behaviors identified through the survey. The findings may be used by agencies such as the New Jersey HIV/AIDS Planning Group (NJHPG) for use in priority setting, planning and evaluation of HIV prevention services.
