DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this supplemental project is to increase the scope of National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) to include surveillance of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) between 13 and 17 years of age as a focus area in an on-going surveillance system. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) proposes to conduct a pilot study of HIV risk among YMSM to accomplish this objective. The NHBS YMSM supplement would include qualitative ethnographic research, quantitative survey research, and HIV testing, conducted from June 2012 to February 2013. The quantitative survey would include questions in four domains: demographics, HIV risk behaviors, HIV testing, and the use of HIV prevention services. DOHMH will sample members of the target population through two methods, including venue-based sampling and respondent-driven sampling or, as an alternative to either one of these methods, a third method of participant recruitment based on the results of formative research. DOHMH will complete surveys with a minimum of 600 YMSM (300 for each of the two selected sampling methods). DOHMH will conduct HIV testing to estimate HIV prevalence (through Western Blot diagnostic testing) and HIV incidence (through dried blood spots tested at the CDC laboratories) among YMSM. Throughout the research study, DOHMH will collaborate with community partners including the local HIV Prevention Planning Group, HIV Planning Council, and federally-funded community-based organizations. DOHMH will also collaborate with local researchers with knowledge of the target population and with expertise in qualitative research methods to conduct formative qualitative research on YMSM to inform and support the main data collection phase. Finally, DOHMH will conduct evaluations of the research study to refine the methods of HIV behavioral surveillance focused on YMSM and will conduct analyses to describe the target population and to investigate specific research questions on HIV risk. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The young men who have sex with men (YMSM) supplement will enhance the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) by including a young, vulnerable population of men who have sex with men (MSM). This will increase our knowledge about HIV risk in this group with direct relevance for prevention and service programs, and will enable the development and evaluation of sampling and other research methodologies that can be the basis for ongoing, systematic behavioral surveillance of YMSM.

描述（由申请人提供）：本补充项目的目标是扩大国家艾滋病毒行为监测（NHBS）的范围，将监测13至17岁的男男性行为者（YMSM）作为持续监测系统的重点领域。纽约市健康和心理卫生局（DOHMH）建议对男同性恋者的艾滋病毒风险进行一项试点研究，以实现这一目标。从2012年6月到2013年2月，NHBS的YMSM补充将包括定性人种学研究、定量调查研究和艾滋病毒检测。定量调查将包括四个领域的问题：人口统计、艾滋病毒风险行为、艾滋病毒检测和艾滋病毒预防服务的使用。DOHMH将通过两种方法对目标人群进行抽样，包括基于场地的抽样和受访者驱动的抽样，或者作为其中一种方法的替代方案，采用基于形成性研究结果的第三种参与者招募方法。卫生部将以最少600个YMSM（两种抽样方法各300个）完成调查。卫生部将进行艾滋病毒检测，以估计男青年中的艾滋病毒流行率（通过免疫印迹诊断检测）和艾滋病毒发病率（通过在疾病预防控制中心实验室检测的干血点）。在整个研究过程中，卫生部将与社区伙伴合作，包括当地艾滋病毒预防规划小组、艾滋病毒规划委员会和联邦政府资助的社区组织。卫生署亦会与了解目标人口及在质性研究方法方面具有专业知识的本地研究人员合作，就青少年青少年进行形成性质的研究，为主要数据收集阶段提供资讯及支援。最后，卫生部将对该研究进行评估，以完善以青年会为重点的艾滋病毒行为监测方法，并将进行分析，描述目标人群并调查有关艾滋病毒风险的具体研究问题。
