DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "Qualitative methods for public health research: HIV/STI prevention in China" is a two-year, predoctoral training program of innovative and interdisciplinary research, teaching, and professional academic experiences culminating in a doctorate degree and preparing the applicant for public health research career. The training plan supports the National Institute of Mental Health, Division of AIDS and Health and Behavior Research (DAHBR) aim to "develop and disseminate behavioral interventions that prevent HIV/AIDS transmission" and addresses DAHBR's high priority to support "innovative, interdisciplinary HIV prevention research designed to better understand individual, dyadic, community, social, and structural factors that impact HIV risk-reduction". The application is a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, and the Chinese National Center for STD Control. A major component of the application is a dissertation study entitled, "Migration, work, and HIV/STI risk among male migrant workers in three Chinese cities". China has over 120 million rural to urban migrant workers and growing epidemics of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). While research has documented associations between migration and increased risk for HIV, limited work has identified specific risks Chinese migrant populations face. This study aims to describe and compare the migration, work, HIV/STI health and education needs, and relational histories of rural to urban migrant men, and migrant men who find work selling sex in Chinese cities. Data collection will take place during a 6 month fieldwork period in China using qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, mapping exercises, and participant observation. Additionally, this application includes coursework, teaching, conference participation, work on existing research projects, and mentorship activities with leading U.S and Chinese researchers. Relevance: The proposed application will benefit public health by gathering information about work-related health hazards, individual risk behaviors and high-risk social and structural situations for HIV, and health education and service needs among a large, underserved population. This information can be used to improve work environments, design better HIV outreach services, and advocate for policy reform. Collaborating with Chinese researchers will also continue to build U.S.-China diplomatic research relationships for the benefit of better addressing public health concerns in both countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：“公共卫生研究的定性方法：中国的艾滋病毒/性传播感染预防”是一个为期两年的博士前培训计划，包括创新和跨学科研究，教学和专业学术经验，最终获得博士学位，并为申请人的公共卫生研究生涯做好准备。该培训计划支持国家心理健康研究所艾滋病和健康与行为研究部（DAHBR）的目标，即“制定和传播预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播的行为干预措施”，并解决DAHBR的高度优先事项，以支持“创新的跨学科艾滋病毒预防研究，旨在更好地了解影响艾滋病毒风险降低的个人，二元，社区，社会和结构因素”。该应用程序是约翰霍普金斯公共卫生学院、北卡罗来纳州大学查佩尔山医学院和中国国家性病控制中心之间的合作。申请的一个主要组成部分是题为“中国三个城市男性农民工的移徙、工作和艾滋病毒/性传播感染风险”的论文研究。中国有超过1.2亿农民工，艾滋病毒和性传播感染日益流行。虽然研究证明了移民与艾滋病毒风险增加之间的联系，但有限的工作确定了中国移民人口面临的具体风险。本研究的目的是描述和比较农村到城市的流动男性和在中国城市找到性工作的流动男性的迁移，工作，艾滋病毒/性传播疾病的健康和教育需求，以及关系史。数据收集将在中国进行为期6个月的实地考察，采用定性方法，包括深入访谈、绘图练习和参与观察。此外，该申请还包括课程，教学，会议参与，现有研究项目的工作，以及与美国和中国领先研究人员的导师活动。 相关性：拟议的应用程序将通过收集与工作有关的健康危害、个人风险行为和艾滋病毒高风险社会和结构情况以及大量服务不足人口的健康教育和服务需求等信息，使公共卫生受益。这些信息可用于改善工作环境，设计更好的艾滋病毒外展服务，并倡导政策改革。与中国研究人员的合作也将继续建立美国-中国外交研究关系，以更好地解决两国的公共卫生问题。
