项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed NRSA predoctoral fellowship program is aimed at evaluating a situational model of risky sexual behavior in men who have sex with men (MSM). The research program will focus on determining both differential and common predictors/protective factors of sexual risk in a diverse sample of MSM in terms of age and ethnicity. The broad goal of the project is to come to a better understanding of the variables that influence risky sexual behavior in MSM and to shed light on the disparities in the incidence rates of new HIV infection between subgroups of this population (i.e., subgroups based on age and race/ethinicity). The specific aims of the project are the following. Aim 1:Identify situational factors that contribute to MSM engaging in risky sexual behavior. Aim II: Characterize developmental differences in processes that underlie risk for HIV. Aim 111: Explore racial/ethnic differences in situational risk factors. Data will be collected from participants specific to individual sexual encounters in order to facilitate a prospective within-persons situational analysis of risky sexual behavior. This prospective approach to data collection will help to minimize potential bias in recall of the events surrounding inividual sexual encounters. Furthermore, investigating situational (i.e., event-level) predictors of sexual risk has the potential to reveal predictors of risk that may be overlooked by taking more global measures of predictor variables across multiple sexual encounters. This research will also help to better understand the rising incidence rates of HIV infection in young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and greater prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Black and Latino MSM by helping to differntiate between situational variables that predict risky sexual behavior in these subgroups of MSM. By better understanding the variables the predict why YMSM and Black and Latino MSM seem to be at higher risk for acquiring HIV, researchers, community agencies, and clinicians will be better informed in preventing risky sexual behavior in these groups of MSM. In terms of long-term career development, the predoctoral fellowship will aid me in developing the skills necessary to achieve the broader goal of pursuing a career as a research scientist in an academic research institution. With this goal in mind, the training program will consist of working under the mentorship of Dr. Brian Mustanski in pursuing didactic training in research methodology, protocol development and biostatistics that will be critical in successfully completing the proposed investigation as well as pursuing my long-term career goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：NRSA博士前奖学金项目旨在评估男男性行为（MSM）风险性行为的情境模型。该研究项目将侧重于在不同年龄和种族的MSM样本中确定性风险的差异和共同预测/保护因素。该项目的总体目标是更好地了解影响男男性接触者危险性行为的各种变量，并阐明这一人群中各个子群体（即基于年龄和种族/族裔的子群体）之间新发艾滋病毒感染率的差异。该项目的具体目标如下。目标1：确定导致男男性接触者从事危险性行为的情境因素。目标二：描述构成艾滋病毒感染风险的发育过程中的差异。目标111：探索情境风险因素中的种族/民族差异。将从个别性接触的参与者收集数据，以促进对危险性行为的个人内部情景分析。这种前瞻性的数据收集方法将有助于最大限度地减少在回忆个体性接触事件时的潜在偏见。此外，调查性风险的情境（即事件水平）预测因子，有可能通过对多性接触的预测变量进行更全面的测量，揭示可能被忽视的风险预测因子。这项研究还将有助于更好地理解年轻男男性行为者（YMSM）中艾滋病毒感染率的上升，以及黑人和拉丁裔男男性行为者中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的更大流行，通过帮助区分预测这些男男性行为亚群中危险性行为的情境变量。通过更好地了解这些变量，预测为什么男同性恋者、黑人和拉丁裔男同性恋者似乎有更高的感染艾滋病毒的风险，研究人员、社区机构和临床医生将更好地了解在这些男同性恋者群体中预防危险的性行为。就长期的职业发展而言，博士前奖学金将帮助我发展必要的技能，以实现在学术研究机构从事研究科学家的更广泛目标。考虑到这一目标，培训计划将包括在Brian Mustanski博士的指导下进行研究方法、方案制定和生物统计学方面的教学培训，这对于成功完成拟议的调查以及追求我的长期职业目标至关重要。
