项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study seeks to address two pressing scientific needs: 1) to improve ways to sample and recruit hard-to-reach minority populations for inclusion in research and 2) to fill a gap in our knowledge of the health problems faced by female-to-male transgender persons (transmen). Minority populations unduly suffer from many diseases and mental health conditions; sexual minorities bear a particularly heavy burden of the HIV epidemic. We are seeing warning signs that transmen may be an overlooked minority population at high risk for HIV, with documented AIDS and STD cases, sex partners who are gay men and male-to-female transgender persons (transwomen) and low condom use. Transmen also appear to face discrimination and have high levels of drug and alcohol use, depression and suicide. However, reliable data are lacking to guide prevention and care programs. This exploratory study will develop and test a novel strategy to sample and recruit transmen for a survey of HIV prevalence and health risks, beginning with outreach to public places where transmen are found followed by referral of their peers. Although this study focuses on transmen, our research will invent and validate a new sampling method applicable to diverse populations affected by HIV and other health issues worldwide.

本研究旨在解决两个迫切的科学需求：1）改善抽样和招募难以接触的少数群体的方法，以纳入研究; 2）填补我们对女性到男性跨性别者（transmen）所面临的健康问题的知识空白。少数群体人口不适当地患有许多疾病和精神健康状况;性少数群体承受着艾滋病毒流行病的特别沉重的负担。我们看到的警告信号表明，跨性别者可能是一个被忽视的艾滋病毒高风险少数群体，有记录的艾滋病和性病病例，性伴侣是男同性恋者和男性对女性的跨性别者（transwomen），避孕套使用率低。变性人似乎也面临歧视，吸毒和酗酒、抑郁和自杀的比例很高。然而，缺乏可靠的数据来指导预防和护理方案。这项探索性研究将开发和测试一种新的策略，以抽样和招募transmen进行艾滋病毒流行率和健康风险的调查，首先是在发现transmen的公共场所进行宣传，然后是他们的同龄人。虽然这项研究的重点是transmen，但我们的研究将发明和验证一种新的抽样方法，适用于受艾滋病毒和全球其他健康问题影响的不同人群。
