This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Abstract In the proposed cross-disciplinary social/behavioral and community study, Dr. Sheba George (CDU) and Dr. Matt Mutcler (APLA) will evaluate the acceptability of using a health information technology (HIT) based intervention, namely cell phone text messaging, to facilitate the training of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and their friends in communication about sexual health. We have developed the following Specific Aims: 1. To identify gaps in knowledge and relevant sexual health communication topics for use with cell phone-based interventions in this population by analyzing previously collected qualitative data on sexual health communication among YMSM and their friends for relevant contextual factors that need to be addressed. 2. To examine the acceptability of cell phone-based sexual health communication and specific messages about HIV prevention and substance abuse among young MSM and their friends. To accomplish these aims, we propose a two-phase, multimethod study. First for specific aim 1, we will conduct a secondary data analysis of an existing qualitative dataset from interviews with young gay men and their best friends collected by Dr. Mutchler to develop public health messages that may be used in HIT communications with YMSM and their friends. For specific aim 2, we will conduct focus group interviews, stratified by race, with YMSM and their best gay male friends to test acceptability of incorporating cell phone based text messaging in a sexual health intervention and also acceptability of the messages. We will conduct 6 focus group interviews with African American YMSM who have best gay male friends (N=6 to 8 participants per group) and also 6 focus group interviews with Latino YMSM who have best gay male friends (N=6 to 8 participants per group).

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 摘要 在拟议的跨学科社会/行为和社区研究中，Sheba乔治博士（CDU）和Matt Mutcler博士（APLA）将评估使用基于健康信息技术（HIT）的干预措施（即手机短信）的可接受性，以促进对男男性行为者（YMSM）及其朋友进行性健康交流的培训。 我们制定了以下具体目标： 1.通过分析以前收集的YMSM和他们的朋友之间的性健康沟通的定性数据，确定知识和相关的性健康沟通主题的差距，用于在这一人群中使用基于手机的干预措施，需要解决的相关背景因素。 2.探讨年轻男男性接触者及其朋友对手机性健康沟通和有关艾滋病预防和药物滥用的具体信息的可接受性。 为了实现这些目标，我们提出了一个两阶段，多方法研究。 首先，对于具体目标1，我们将对Mutchler博士收集的年轻男同性恋者及其最好朋友的访谈中的现有定性数据集进行二次数据分析，以开发可用于与YMSM及其朋友进行HIT通信的公共卫生信息。 对于具体目标2，我们将进行焦点小组访谈，按种族分层，与YMSM和他们最好的男同性恋朋友，以测试将手机短信纳入性健康干预的可接受性，以及短信的可接受性。 我们将进行6个焦点小组访谈与非裔美国人YMSM谁有最好的男同性恋朋友（N=6至8参与者每组），也6个焦点小组访谈与拉丁美洲YMSM谁有最好的男同性恋朋友（N=6至8参与者每组）。
