DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (F31-Promoting Diversity in Health Related Research) will explore church members' and leaders' perceptions of the capacity of the church to support HIV stigma reduction and testing interventions and develop and evaluate a culturally and religiously adapted measure of predictors of individuals' intentions to seek HIV testing in the Latino church context. Approximately 44% of Latinos attend church weekly, making it an ideal setting to reach a large portion of this population; however effective intervention materials for the church setting are lacking. This study will be conducted in two phases over 24 months and will collect data via focus groups, individual interviews, and surveys. Participants in Phase 1 (N = 70) will be recruited from a minimum of two Latino Catholic churches. Data will be gathered on church members' and leaders' perceptions of the church's capacity to implement HIV stigma reduction and testing interventions via focus groups and individual interviews. Additionally, guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), these same focus groups and interviews will be used to elicit information to guide the development of survey items focused on predictors of intentions to obtain an HIV test. In Phase 2 (N = 134), we will develop and assess the acceptability and comprehension of the new measure through cognitive debriefing sessions and collect data to evaluate the psychometric properties of the developed questionnaire. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (F31-Promoting Diversity in Health Related Research) will explore church members' and leaders' perceptions of the capacity of the church to support HIV stigma reduction and testing interventions and develop and evaluate a culturally and religiously adapted measure of predictors of individuals' intentions to seek HIV testing in the Latino church context. Approximately 44% of Latinos attend church weekly, making it an ideal setting to reach a large portion of this population; however effective intervention materials for the church setting are lacking. The potential public health impact is large as Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected by HIV.

描述（由申请人提供）：这露丝L。Kirschstein国家研究服务奖（F31-促进健康相关研究的多样性）将探讨教会成员和领导人对教会支持减少艾滋病毒污名和检测干预措施的能力的看法，并制定和评估一种文化和宗教适应措施，用于预测个人在拉丁美洲教会背景下寻求艾滋病毒检测的意图。大约44%的拉丁美洲人每周去教堂，使其成为一个理想的环境，以达到这一人口的很大一部分;然而，有效的干预材料的教堂设置缺乏。这项研究将在24个月内分两个阶段进行，并将通过焦点小组、个人访谈和调查收集数据。第1阶段的参与者（N = 70）将从至少两个拉丁裔天主教会招募。将通过焦点小组和个人访谈收集教会成员和领导人对教会实施减少艾滋病毒污名和检测干预措施的能力的看法。此外，在计划行为理论（TPB）的指导下，这些相同的焦点小组和访谈将用于获取信息，以指导调查项目的开发，重点是获得艾滋病毒检测的意图的预测因素。在第2阶段（N = 134），我们将开发和评估的可接受性和理解的新措施，通过认知述职会议和收集数据，以评估开发的问卷的心理测量特性。 公共卫生相关性：这露丝L。Kirschstein国家研究服务奖（F31-促进健康相关研究的多样性）将探讨教会成员和领导人对教会支持减少艾滋病毒污名和检测干预措施的能力的看法，并制定和评估一种文化和宗教适应措施，用于预测个人在拉丁美洲教会背景下寻求艾滋病毒检测的意图。大约44%的拉丁美洲人每周去教堂，使其成为一个理想的环境，以达到这一人口的很大一部分;然而，有效的干预材料的教堂设置缺乏。潜在的公共卫生影响很大，因为西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人受艾滋病毒影响的比例不成比例。
