HIV/AIDS Prevention Program Archive for Developing Countries (HAPPA-DEV)

描述（由申请人提供）：研究表明，艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防计划可以对减少美国成年人和青年人的艾滋病毒风险行为产生重大影响社会计量学已经通过两个广泛使用的主题重点档案公开了几十个最有前途的美国艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防计划：艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防方案档案（HAPPA，以成人为重点的方案）和性、健康和青少年方案档案（PASHA，以青年为重点的方案）。 发展中国家的学校、诊所和社区组织没有类似的资源可供使用。社会计量学建议通过创建HAPPA-DEV（发展中国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防计划档案）来填补这一空白。HAPPA-DEV将借鉴HAPPA和PASHA成功使用的发展战略。科学家专家小组将根据其有效性和可复制性的证据强度为HAPPA-DEV选择方案。HAPPA-DEV中的每个复制工具包将包含新站点复制有效程序所需的所有材料。此外，HAPPA-DEV将增加三项创新：（1）每个HAPPA-DEV复制工具包将包含一个程序调整工作簿，以提高档案用户根据新的目标人群和环境定制有效行为程序的能力。(2)每个HAPPA-DEV复制工具包都将数字化，以促进具有成本效益和广泛的全球传播。(3)与HAPPA-DEV收集一起提供的是一个方案定位器和使用工具，其中包括：（3a）一个电子搜索工具，用于定位与特定地点的目标人群、目标和所需方法相匹配的方案;以及（3b）档案中每个方案的多媒体介绍，概述每个方案的目标、方法和特点，并提供方案使用和执行提示。将为无法使用或有限使用计算机的用户编制LOCUS的印刷版。 在该项目的第一阶段，我们将进行广泛的文献检索，以确定在发展中国家对艾滋病毒相关风险行为产生积极影响的方案，并与科学家专家小组合作，选择有效和可复制的方案，最终向公众分发。我们将从选定的原始开发者那里获得支持信，确认他们愿意在第二阶段与我们合作，使他们的程序可供公众分发。我们将为一个选定的有效程序获取程序材料，并与程序开发人员合作，以印刷和数字化格式创建原型包的原始语言和英语版本。该软件包将包括一个程序调整工作手册。我们还将为LOCUS开发原型。HAPPA-DEV和LOCUS原型将接受来自世界不同地区的测试人员的可用性测试，特别是那些将为HAPPA-DEV提供有效程序的地区。 公共卫生相关性拟议的档案将促进获得和传播艾滋病毒一级和二级预防计划，科学已经证明，至少在一个发展中国家是有效的。通过促进有效项目的使用，HAPPA-DEV应该有助于减少使个人处于感染艾滋病毒风险的性行为和毒品相关行为，从而促进全球公共卫生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research has shown that HIV/AIDS prevention programs can have a significant impact on reducing HIV risk behaviors among adults and youth in the U.S. Sociometrics has made several dozen of the most promising U.S. HIV/AIDS prevention programs publicly available through two widely-used topically-focused archives: the HIV/AIDS Prevention Program Archive (HAPPA, adult-focused programs) and the Program Archive on Sexuality, Health, and Adolescence (PASHA, youth-focused programs). No similar resources exist for use in schools, clinics, and community-based organizations in developing countries. Sociometrics proposes to fill this gap by creating HAPPA-DEV (HIV/AIDS Prevention Program Archive for Developing Countries). HAPPA-DEV will draw on the successful development strategies used by HAPPA and PASHA. Programs will be selected for HAPPA-DEV by a Scientist Expert Panel based on the strength of the evidence for their effectiveness and their replicability. Each replication kit in HAPPA-DEV will contain all the materials that a new site would need to replicate the effective program. In addition, three innovations will be added to HAPPA-DEV: (1) Each HAPPA-DEV replication kit will contain a program adaptation workbook to enhance the ability of archive users to tailor effective behavioral programs to new target populations and contexts. (2) Each HAPPA-DEV replication kit will be digitized to promote cost- effective and widespread, worldwide dissemination. (3) Accompanying the HAPPA-DEV collection will be a Program LOCator and USage Tool (LOCUS) that will include: (3a) an electronic search tool to locate programs that match a given site's target population, goals and desired approaches; as well as (3b) a multimedia introduction to each program in the archive that summarizes each program's goals, approach and features, and that gives program usage and implementation tips. A printed version of LOCUS will be developed for users with no or limited access to computers. During Phase I of the project, we will conduct an extensive literature search to identify programs that have demonstrated positive impact on HIV-related risk behavior in developing countries and work with a Scientist Expert Panel to select efficacious and replicable programs for eventual public distribution. We will obtain Letters of Support from selected original developers affirming their willingness to work with us in Phase II on making their program available for public distribution. We will acquire the program materials for one selected effective program and work with the developer of the program to create both original language and English versions of the prototype package, in both print and digitized formats. The package will include a program adaptation workbook. We will also develop a prototype for LOCUS. The HAPPA-DEV and LOCUS prototypes will be subjected to usability testing with testers drawn from diverse regions of the world, especially those regions that will be contributing effective programs to HAPPA-DEV. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE The proposed archive will facilitate access to, and dissemination of, HIV primary and secondary prevention programs that science has shown to be effective in at least one developing country. By promoting the use of effective programs, HAPPA-DEV should help reduce sexual and drug-related behaviors that put individuals at risk of acquiring HIV, thus promoting global public health.
