DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This K23 application, in response to PA-11-194 to NINR, is a 3-year mentored patient-oriented research project to develop, adapt and test a self- and family-management intervention targeting HIV+ women in China to improve HIV health outcomes. The PI has extensive training experience at Columbia, University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Washington (UW), and research experience in both domestic and international settings. Her long-term career goal is to be an independent and productive investigator in the field of HIV self- and family-management, with particular expertise in designing and implementing culturally sensitive interventions and to develop, test, implement, and evaluate an intervention in self- and family-management tailored to the Asian HIV+ population in the U.S. Training objectives for this award are to (a) gain expertise in qualitative data analysis for network text mining purposes as well as ethnographic evaluation; (b) learn gender, sexuality, and cultural adaptation skills to apply in a culturally sensitive study design; and (c) learn intervention development skills and apply them in developing a behavioral intervention for HIV+ women in China. The training activities designed to accomplish these objectives will include mentored independent study, formal course work, participation in research conferences, and design and implementation of a research project in Beijing to pilot test self- and family-intervention management among HIV+ women. This proposed research project is ambitious but feasible, as it will be coordinated with Dr. Simoni's ongoing work among HIV+ patients in Beijing and builds upon work that the PI has previously conducted with HIV+ women in Shanghai, China. The specific aims of the research project are to: (a) conduct a secondary qualitative analysis of 68 in-depth interviews to further illuminate the sociocultural and family context of HIV+ Chinese women, (b) develop and adapt a theory-driven, culturally sensitive and feasible intervention to improve the quality of life and clinical outcomes of HIV+ Chinese women and their families, and (c) conduct a feasibility, compliance, and acceptability study for a self- and family-management intervention with 10 HIV+ women and their family members. The main goal is to adapt and develop an evidence-based culturally suitable self- and family-management intervention using Grey's self- and family-management framework. This intervention will assist HIV+ women in adjusting to their illness psychologically and socially, while helping them to decrease stress and enhance their level of social support. In the process, these women will also gain the knowledge and skills they need to cope with HIV. The applicant has chosen a seasoned mentor with extensive experience in the proposed research area, and has assembled a team of eminent academic collaborators across the U.S. and in China. Combining the skills and knowledge she has gained in her academic career thus far with the results of the proposed study, the applicant will be well positioned to submit applications as a principal investigator for further research on HIV in China.

描述（由申请人提供）：本K23申请是对NINR PA-11-194的回应，是一项为期3年的以患者为导向的指导研究项目，旨在开发、调整和测试针对中国HIV阳性女性的自我和家庭管理干预措施，以改善HIV健康结果。PI在哥伦比亚大学，加州大学弗朗西斯科分校（UCSF）和华盛顿大学（UW）拥有丰富的培训经验，并在国内和国际环境中拥有研究经验。她的长期职业目标是成为艾滋病毒自我和家庭管理领域的独立和富有成效的调查员，在设计和实施文化敏感的干预措施方面具有特别的专业知识，并开发，测试，实施，并评估针对美国亚洲艾滋病毒阳性人群的自我和家庭管理干预措施。该奖项的培训目标是：（a）获得用于网络文本挖掘目的的定性数据分析以及人种学评估方面的专业知识;（B）学习性别、性行为和文化适应技能，以应用于文化敏感的研究设计;（c）学习干预开发技能，并将其应用于开发中国HIV阳性妇女的行为干预。为实现这些目标而设计的培训活动将包括有指导的独立学习、正式课程、参加研究会议以及在北京设计和实施一个研究项目，在艾滋病毒阳性妇女中试行自我和家庭干预管理。这项拟议的研究项目雄心勃勃，但可行，因为它将与Simoni博士在北京HIV+患者中正在进行的工作相协调，并建立在PI先前在中国上海对HIV+女性进行的工作基础上。该研究项目的具体目标是：（a）对68次深入访谈进行二次定性分析，以进一步阐明中国HIV阳性妇女的社会文化和家庭背景，（B）制定和调整理论驱动、文化敏感和可行的干预措施，以改善中国HIV阳性妇女及其家庭的生活质量和临床结局，以及（c）进行可行性、依从性、对10名艾滋病毒阳性妇女及其家庭成员进行自我和家庭管理干预的可接受性研究。主要目标是适应和发展一个基于证据的文化适合的自我和家庭管理干预使用灰色的自我和家庭管理框架。这一干预措施将帮助艾滋病毒阳性妇女在心理和社会方面适应自己的疾病，同时帮助她们减轻压力，提高社会支持水平。在此过程中，这些妇女还将获得科普艾滋病毒所需的知识和技能。申请人选择了一位在拟议研究领域具有丰富经验的经验丰富的导师，并在美国和中国组建了一支由杰出学术合作者组成的团队。结合她迄今为止在学术生涯中获得的技能和知识以及拟议研究的结果，申请人将有能力作为主要研究者提交申请，在中国进一步研究艾滋病毒。
