Project Summary Given the continued impact of HIV among African Americans, there is still an urgent need to expand prevention efforts and HIV testing in African American communities. Heterosexual individuals may acquire and spread infection directly through heterosexual contact, bi-sexual sexual contact, and/or indirectly through homosexual sexual contact. Evidence-based interventions have been shown to increase consistent condom use, decrease sexual partners, and increase HIV testing; however, traditionally-implemented evidence-based intervention packages may not be accessible to communities given the resources and expertise needed to implement them. This project seeks to: 1) assess feasibility for the development of two theory- based, video podcast-delivered, HIV prevention interventions for self-identified heterosexual African American males and females; and 2) evaluate the effectiveness (pilot) of the two theory- based, HIV prevention video podcasts for African American males and females. We will develop the two (male and female) video podcasts that maintain the theoretical integrity of two established CDC evidence-based behavioral HIV prevention interventions. The assessment phase will consist of leveraging African American community members and stakeholders and experts in the field of HIV prevention science in the conceptual and theoretical development of the podcast content. The effectiveness phase will consist of broadcasting the podcasts for participants and evaluating HIV prevention knowledge, condom use, attitudes and self-efficacy for condom use, and HIV testing behavior (1mo and 3mo follow-ups). This intervention is the first of its kind and has the potential to increase HIV protective behaviors in this hard-to-reach and medically underserved population. We expect the resulting interventions to be easily disseminated throughout the African American communities, with the potential to reduce HIV-related disparities within this population. The present study will impact and advance the field by demonstrating feasibility and effectiveness for a novel mode of intervention engagement within HIV prevention science, serve as preliminary data for a larger trial, and foster HIV prevention awareness within the African American community.

项目摘要 鉴于艾滋病毒在非裔美国人中的持续影响， 预防工作和艾滋病毒检测在非洲裔美国人社区。异性恋者可能会获得 并通过异性接触、双性恋性接触和/或间接传播感染 通过同性性接触。基于证据的干预措施已被证明可以增加一致性 避孕套的使用，减少性伴侣，增加艾滋病毒检测;然而，传统上实施 鉴于资源有限，社区可能无法获得循证干预措施， 需要的专业知识来实施。该项目旨在：1）评估发展两个 以理论为基础，视频播客提供，艾滋病毒预防干预措施，自我确定的异性恋非洲人 美国男性和女性;和2）评估的有效性（试点）的两个理论为基础，艾滋病毒 为非洲裔美国男性和女性提供预防视频播客。我们将开发这两个（男性和 女性）的视频播客，保持理论的完整性，两个既定的疾病预防控制中心的证据为基础的 艾滋病毒行为预防干预措施。评估阶段将包括利用非洲裔美国人 社区成员和利益攸关方以及艾滋病毒预防科学领域的专家， 播客内容的理论发展。成效阶段将包括广播 为参与者提供播客，并评估艾滋病毒预防知识、安全套使用、态度和自我效能 避孕套使用和HIV检测行为（1个月和3个月随访）。这种干预是第一次 并有可能在这个难以接触和医疗服务不足的地区增加艾滋病毒保护行为 人口我们希望由此产生的干预措施很容易在整个非洲裔美国人中传播。 社区，有可能减少这一人口中与艾滋病毒有关的差距。本研究 将通过展示新模式的可行性和有效性来影响和推进该领域， 艾滋病预防科学中的干预参与，作为更大规模试验的初步数据， 在非裔美国人社区内培养艾滋病毒预防意识。
