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.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究旨在满足两个紧迫的科学需求：1）改善采样和招募难以到达的少数群体以纳入研究的方式和2）填补我们对女性到男女群体面临的健康问题（Transmen）（Transmen）所面临的健康问题的空白。少数群体过度遭受许多疾病和心理健康状况的困扰；性少数群体承担着艾滋病毒流行的特别负担。我们看到警告迹象表明，跨性别者可能是艾滋病毒高风险的少数族裔，有记载的艾滋病和性病案件，性伴侣，同性恋者和男女跨性别者（跨性别者）（跨性别者）和低避孕套的使用。变性人似乎也面临歧视，并具有高水平的毒品和饮酒，抑郁和自杀。但是，缺乏可靠的数据来指导预防和护理计划。这项探索性研究将制定并测试一种新型策略，以对艾滋病毒患病率和健康风险进行采样和招募变速器，首先是向公共场所推广，这些公共场所被发现是跨性别者，然后是转介同龄人。尽管这项研究侧重于变性人，但我们的研究将发明和验证一种适用于受艾滋病毒和其他健康问题影响的不同种群的新抽样方法。
