项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Surveillance estimates in the US indicate a resurgence of new HIV/AIDS cases among young men who have sex with men (YMSM).The investigator's career goal is to become an independent scientist who designs and implements Internet-based HIV-prevention interventions for YMSM given the Internet's promise for advancing HIV/AIDS research and diffusing HIV/AIDS prevention programs through YMSM's virtual networks. This Career Development Award focuses on strengthening the investigator's Internet research skills. The investigator will apply his new skills in a project that explores why and how YMSM use the Internet for dating and test how YMSM's intentions to use condoms with dates are associated with HIV/AIDS risk. Each training goal is matched to a research activity. Training goals are to:1) Master methodological strategies required for Internet- based data collection, measurement adaptation and intervention development;2) Develop, design and implement web-surveys that feature cutting-edge interactive enhancements to retain and maximize survey completion;3) Become proficient in the development and use of psychometrically-sound web-based assessments to study HIV/AIDS risk;4) Advance his training in the ethical conduct of web research, including considerations regarding recruitment, and data collection, management and security. The following specific aims guide the research proposal to: 1) Describe YMSM's dating experiences and discuss these experiences in the context of the opportunities and limitations they present for HIV/AIDS prevention; 2) Develop (or adapt) measures that capture YMSM's dating experiences and intentions to use condoms with their dates in an ethnically-diverse sample of YMSM (ages 18-24); 3) Describe and characterize YMSM's virtual social networks; 4) Assess the psychometric properties of measures regarding YMSM's romantic expectations and condom use with dates; and 5) Examine the role of virtual social networks characteristics, romantic expectations, condom use intentions with dates, and HIV/AIDS risk factors as predictors of condom use among YMSM who use the Internet to date. Findings will inform the development of a subsequent intervention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The investigator's career goal is to inform Internet HIV-prevention interventions for young men who have sex with men (YMSM). This Career Development Award strengthens the investigator's skills in Internet research through coursework and a mentored research project that explores YMSM's use the Internet to meet romantic partners, their intentions to use condoms with these partners, and their HIV/AIDS risk.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国的监视估计表明，与男性发生性关系的年轻男性（YMSM）的新艾滋病毒/艾滋病案件复兴。研究者的职业目标是成为一名独立的科学家，他们设计并实施了基于Internet的HIV hiv预先预期干预措施，鉴于Internet为Internet提供了艾滋病毒/艾滋病的预测HIV/AIDS的侵害，YMMSM的YMSM有望通过YIV/AIDS进行艾滋病毒的发展。该职业发展奖的重点是增强研究者的互联网研究技能。研究人员将在一个项目中运用他的新技能，探讨YMSM为什么以及如何使用互联网约会和测试YMSM使用避孕套与日期的意图与HIV/AIDS风险有关。每个培训目标都与研究活动相匹配。培训目标是：1）基于互联网的数据收集，测量适应和干预开发所需的主方法学策略； 2）开发，设计和实施网络策略，这些策略具有尖端的互动增强，以保持和最大化的调查完成； 3）3）3）3）在精神上的网络评估中培训HIV/ADS的培训； 4）收集，管理和安全。以下具体目的指导研究建议：1）描述YMSM的约会经验，并在他们为艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防的机会和局限性的背景下讨论这些经验； 2）开发（或适应）衡量YMSM的约会经历和意图，以在YMSM的种族多样性样本中使用避孕套（18-24岁）； 3）描述和表征YMSM的虚拟社交网络； 4）评估有关YMSM浪漫期望和与日期使用的避孕套的措施的心理测量特性； 5）研究虚拟社交网络特征，浪漫期望，使用日期的避孕套意图以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险因素作为迄今使用互联网使用YMSM的避孕套的预测因素的作用。调查结果将告知随后的干预措施的发展。公共卫生相关性：调查人员的职业目标是为与男性发生性关系的年轻人（YMSM）告知互联网预防性干预措施。该职业发展奖通过课程工作和一个指导的研究项目增强了研究者在互联网研究中的技能，该项目探讨了YMSM使用互联网与浪漫合作伙伴见面，他们与这些合作伙伴使用避孕套的意图以及他们的艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险。
