FAMILY OF AIDS BEHAVIORAL SURVEYS

艾滋病家庭行为调查(FABS)继续开展这项工作 由全国艾滋病行为调查发起。这项研究将 继续监测艾滋病相关危险因素，预防 实践，和关键的心理社会变量一般 异性恋人口。具体地说，在一系列2个交叉中 我们将进行分区调查，评估艾滋病相关危险行为 (性伴侣数量、无保护措施的阴道/肛交、 注射吸毒，未经检测的血友病患者)抗体检测，避孕套 使用、感知风险、避孕套态度和规范、性谈判 年18-49岁成年人的技能和影响策略 毗邻的美国(每次调查6,400人)。是这样的 信息对美国的健康至关重要， 符合《健康人2000》中所表达的原则。我们 还将检查随着风险时间的推移而变化的模式 人群中的实践、预防行为和检测 水平。我们考察了安全性行为谈判和避孕套使用的模式 跨约会关系，努力识别人群 需要预防计划的部分人群。每项调查都将是 电话调查采用标准随机概率抽样 技术和将过度抽样非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人。 这项研究的结果将对艾滋病/性传播疾病产生广泛的影响 预防和政策决策。这些发现将(A)有助于 确定国家人口的部分(定义如下 种族/民族、性别、婚姻状况、年龄、社会阶层)谁 从事高风险活动，延误艾滋病毒检测，缺乏技能 和促进安全性行为的信念，(B)描述人口 性交谈判技巧最需要提升的细分市场 程序(C)帮助描述这些细分市场如何(如果)变化 随着时间的推移，他们在普通人群中的信仰和行为 级别-这反过来将指示是否有新的组 应该成为干预的目标。

The Family of AIDS Behavioral Surveys (FABS) continues the work initiated by the National AIDS Behavioral Surveys. This study will continue to monitor AIDS-related risk factors, prevention practices, and key psychosocial variables in the general heterosexual population. Specifically, in a series of 2 cross sectional surveys we will assess AIDS-related risk behaviors (number of sexual partners, unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse, injection drug use, untested hemophiliacs) antibody testing, condom use, perceived risk, condom attitudes and norms, sexual negotiation skills, and influence strategies among adults 18-49 years of age in the Contiguous United States (n = 6,400 per survey). Such information is vital to the health of the United States and conforms to the principles expressed in "Healthy People 2000". We will also examine for changing patterns over time of risk practices, prevention behavior, and testing at the population level. We examine patterns of safer sex negotiations and condom use across dating relationships in an effort to identify population segments in need of prevention programs. Each survey will be conducted by telephone using standard random probability sampling techniques and will oversample African Americans and Hispanics. Results of this study will have broad implications for AIDS/STD prevention and policy decisions. The findings will (a) aid in identifying segments of the national population (defined by race/ethnicity, gender, marital status, age, social class) who perform high risk activities, delay HIV testing, and lack skills and beliefs that facilitate safer sex, (b) describe population segments most in need of sexual negotiation skill enhancement programs (c) assist in describing how (if) these segments change their beliefs and behavior over time at the general population level - which, in turn, will indicate if there ate new groups that should be targeted for intervention.
