Texas National HIV Behavioral Surveillance

项目摘要 德克萨斯州国家艾滋病毒行为监测项目（NHBS）的目标是监测 通过艾滋病病毒流行高危人群的危险行为数据，以指导 艾滋病预防计划在德克萨斯州，并有助于发展一个国家 艾滋病毒行为监测系统。形成性研究将在 使用关键信息提供者访谈、焦点小组和 进行人种学评估，以制定当地调查问题并确定当地地点 进行实地研究活动。德克萨斯州NHBS项目团队将进行一次 艾滋病危险行为的匿名横断面调查，获得和利用 在三个成年高危人群中开展艾滋病毒预防服务，男男性行为者 (MSM)注射毒品使用者（IDU）和异性恋者感染艾滋病毒的风险增加（HET）， 达拉斯区，达拉斯-沃斯堡-阿灵顿大都会统计区。一 每个MSM的合格参与者将完成至少500份调查， 注射吸毒者周期和450项调查将从HET周期的合格参与者中完成 2011年1月至2015年12月，使用基于场地的时空采样， 调查对象驱动的抽样方法适合于目标人群。 自愿和匿名的艾滋病毒检测也将对同意的参与者进行 估计每个高危人群的HIV血清阳性率。此外，自愿和 将进行匿名B型肝炎（HBV）、丙型肝炎（HCV）和梅毒检测 对知情同意的参与者进行评估，以评估HBV、HCV和梅毒血清阳性率。所有 调查，艾滋病毒检测，沿着HBV，HCV和梅毒检测将由一个 在安全的移动的测试单元（定制的休闲车）中的训练有素的工作人员团队。 将分析研究数据，并将研究结果分发给当地和 国家监测报告系统、社区组织和艾滋病毒 社区规划小组，以指导预防资源的分配， 设计和评估预防干预措施。此外，潜在的研究主题的关键 风险行为指标将由得克萨斯州NHBS研究联盟进行研究， 通过摘要、演讲和手稿传播。德州NHBS将 还进行评估当地NHBS系统，质量，效率， 其采样系统和数据收集方法的实用性，以确保系统 达到项目目标。

Project Summary The goal of the Texas National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) project is to monitor the HIV epidemic through HIV risk behavior data of high risk groups in order to guide local HIV prevention programs in Texas and contribute to the development of a National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system. Formative research will be conducted prior to implementation of the survey using key informant interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic assessments to develop local survey questions and to identify local venues for conducting field research activities. The Texas NHBS project team will conduct an anonymous, cross-sectional survey of HIV risk behaviors, access to and utilization of HIV prevention services in three adult high risk populations, men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU) and heterosexuals at increased risk of HIV (HET) in the Dallas Division, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area. A minimum of 500 surveys will be completed from eligible participants for each MSM and IDU cycle and 450 surveys will be completed from eligible participants for the HET cycle from January 2011 to December 2015 using venue based, time-space sampling and respondent driven sampling methodologies as appropriate for the target population. Voluntary and anonymous HIV testing will also be conducted on consenting participants to estimate HIV seroprevalence of each high risk group. Additionally, voluntary and anonymous hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and syphilis testing will be conducted on consenting participants to estimate HBV, HCV, and syphilis seroprevalence. All surveys, HIV testing, along with HBV, HCV, and syphilis testing will be conducted by a team of trained staff in a secure mobile testing unit (customized recreational vehicle). Research data will be analyzed and study findings will be disseminated to local and national surveillance reporting systems, to community based organizations, and to HIV community planning groups in order to guide prevention resource allocation and to design and evaluate prevention interventions. Further, potential research topics of key risk behavior indicators will be explored by the Texas NHBS research consortium and disseminated through abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts. The Texas NHBS will also conduct evaluations of the local NHBS system, the quality, efficiency, and usefulness of its sampling systems and data collection methods to ensure the system is meeting the project goals.
