DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project entitled "The role of churches in HIV prevention for young black men," is to explore the role of church and religion in the lives of young, black, men who have sex with men (YBMSM), ages 16 to 24, and examine the potential for black churches to respond to the youth HIV epidemic. The specific aims include: 1) to explore the religious histories and experiences of young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) to a). document their experiences with faith-related stigma, homophobia, and heteronormative messaging and b). understand the potential adverse influence or protective effects of church and religion in the lives of YBMSM, especially in relation to sexual identity and behaviors associated with HIV transmission, 2) to explore the messages, norms, and attitudes within the black church to understand how YBMSM, church pastors, and lay congregants view and discuss homosexuality and HIV, and 3) to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the black church as a site for the provision of HIV prevention based on the experiences, attitudes, and beliefs of YBMSM, church pastors, and lay congregants. The project will use qualitative research methods. We will conduct in-depth interviews with 30 young YBMSM and 20 pastors or religious leaders of black churches. Interviews will be used to elicit information about individuals' perceptions of faith, homosexuality, HIV, and the potential for black churches to participate in HIV prevention interventions. Additionally, we will use ethnographic observation methods in four black churches in Milwaukee to provide insight into the diversity of ways black churches view and discuss homosexuality and HIV and understand the potential sources of support for LGB adolescents and young adults within the church, as well as potential sources of faith-based stigma and discrimination against LGB congregants. Recruitment and enrollment will be accomplished through establishing partnerships with local community-based organizations that provide services to YBMSM or have partnerships with churches and faith-based organizations. The proposed research addresses the NIH research priority of reducing racial HIV disparities, as outlined in the 2013 NIH plan for HIV-related research. Specifically, it addresses the NIH's prioritization of examining stigma and homophobia as structural-level factors that can influence HIV prevention for racial and ethnic minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个项目的目的，题为“教会在预防艾滋病毒的年轻黑人男子的作用，”是探讨教会和宗教在年轻的黑人，与男性发生性关系的男子（YBMSM），年龄16至24岁的生活中的作用，并检查黑人教会应对青年艾滋病毒流行病的潜力。具体目标包括：1）探索与男性发生性关系的年轻黑人男性（YBMSM）的宗教历史和经历。记录他们在与信仰有关的污名化、同性恋恐惧症和异性恋规范信息方面的经历，以及B）。了解教会和宗教在YBMSM生活中的潜在不利影响或保护作用，特别是与艾滋病毒传播相关的性身份和行为，2）探索黑人教会内的信息，规范和态度，以了解YBMSM，教会牧师和平信徒如何看待和讨论同性恋和艾滋病毒，3）根据YBMSM、教会牧师和教友的经验、态度和信仰，评估黑人教堂作为艾滋病预防场所的可行性和可接受性。该项目将采用定性研究方法。我们将对30名青年青年黑人男同性恋者和20名黑人教会的牧师或宗教领袖进行深入访谈。访谈将被用来获取有关个人的信仰，同性恋，艾滋病毒的看法，以及黑人教会参与艾滋病毒预防干预措施的潜力的信息。此外，我们将在密尔沃基的四个黑人教堂中使用人种学观察方法，以深入了解黑人教堂看待和讨论同性恋和艾滋病毒的方式的多样性，并了解教会内支持LGB青少年和年轻人的潜在来源，以及对LGB会众的基于信仰的耻辱和歧视的潜在来源。招募和登记将通过与当地社区组织建立伙伴关系来完成，这些组织为YBMSM提供服务或与教会和信仰组织建立伙伴关系。拟议的研究解决了NIH减少种族艾滋病毒差异的研究重点，如2013年NIH艾滋病毒相关研究计划所述。具体而言，它解决了美国国立卫生研究院的优先审查耻辱和同性恋恐惧症的结构层面的因素，可以影响艾滋病毒预防的种族和族裔少数。
