DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests a NIAAA Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) for Dr. Stephanie Staras to develop a research program of HIV prevention focused on the intersection of event-level alcohol use (i.e., alcohol use within 2 hours prior to sex) and sexual partner selection among minority adolescents. To accomplish the transition from infectious disease epidemiology to alcohol-related HIV prevention, Dr. Staras needs protected time to increase skills in developing and evaluating alcohol-related HIV preventive interventions among adolescents. Dr. Staras' career development goals are: (1) improve knowledge of theoretical frameworks for alcohol use and HIV transmission among adolescents; (2) strengthen research skills specifically needed to conduct alcohol-related HIV preventive interventions among minority adolescents; (3) increase understanding of ethical conduct of research in HIV prevention; and (4) begin an independent research program on HIV prevention focused on event-level alcohol use and partner selection. She will accomplish these goals through completion of directed studies with mentors, participation in coursework and workshops, and mentored research. The research plan develops and evaluates an HIV preventive intervention focused on event-level alcohol use and sexual partner selection. The research plan is guided by three aims: (1) identify the most important event-level alcohol and partner characteristics associated with unprotected sex; (2) identify the most potent adolescent risk factors for the intersection of risky partner selection and event-level alcohol use; (3) develop and complete a feasibility-trial of a HIV preventive intervention focusing on modifying adolescent partner selection when using alcohol. With support from this K01, Dr. Staras will gain hands-on experience in development and evaluation of alcohol-related HIV preventive interventions, and will be prepared well for an independent career in alcohol-related HIV prevention among minority youth. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE : A K01 award will provide Dr. Staras with protected time to transition into an independent scientist in alcohol related HIV preventive intervention research. Through the proposed training activities and mentored research, Dr. Staras will develop and implement a feasibility test of a HIV preventive intervention focused on reducing alcohol use and alcohol-related risky sexual partner selection.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求 Stephanie Staras 博士获得 NIAAA 指导研究科学家发展奖 (K01)，以开发艾滋病毒预防研究计划，重点关注少数族裔青少年事件级饮酒（即性行为前 2 小时内饮酒）和性伴侣选择的交叉点。为了实现从传染病流行病学到酒精相关艾滋病毒预防的转变，斯塔拉斯博士需要受保护的时间来提高在青少年中制定和评估酒精相关艾滋病毒预防干预措施的技能。 Staras博士的职业发展目标是：（1）提高对青少年饮酒和艾滋病毒传播理论框架的了解； (2) 加强在少数民族青少年中开展与酒精相关的艾滋病毒预防干预措施特别需要的研究技能； (3) 增进对艾滋病毒预防研究伦理行为的理解； (4) 启动一项关于艾滋病毒预防的独立研究计划，重点关注事件层面的饮酒和伴侣选择。她将通过与导师一起完成定向研究、参与课程和研讨会以及指导研究来实现这些目标。该研究计划开发并评估了一种艾滋病毒预防干预措施，重点关注事件层面的饮酒和性伴侣选择。该研究计划以三个目标为指导：（1）确定与无保护性行为相关的最重要的事件级酒精和伴侣特征； (2) 确定风险伴侣选择和事件水平饮酒交叉的最有效的青少年风险因素； (3) 制定并完成一项艾滋病毒预防干预措施的可行性试验，重点是改变青少年饮酒时伴侣的选择。在本次 K01 的支持下，Staras 博士将获得开发和评估与酒精相关的艾滋病毒预防干预措施的实践经验，并为在少数民族青年中从事与酒精相关的艾滋病毒预防方面的独立职业做好充分准备。 公共健康相关性：K01 奖项将为 Staras 博士提供受保护的时间，使其能够转变成酒精相关艾滋病毒预防干预研究的独立科学家。通过拟议的培训活动和指导研究，斯塔拉斯博士将开发并实施艾滋病毒预防干预措施的可行性测试，重点是减少饮酒和选择与酒精相关的高风险性伴侣。
