Proposed Project
Promoting HIV Testing among Low Income Heterosexual Young Adult
Black Men--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The lifetime risk of acquiring HIV infection for black men is 1 in
16. Heterosexual transmission is the second highest category for HIV
infection among black men, yet we know little about how to successfully
access heterosexual black men with HIV prevention and testing messages.
CDC is requesting OMB approval for 2 years to collect data for this 3-
phase study. The data collection will take place in Queens and
Brooklyn, New York.
The purpose of the proposed study is to elicit attitudes about HIV
testing among a community-based sample of non-Hispanic black,
heterosexual men, ages 18-25, who were recently arrested or who were
recently released from jail/prison. The study will develop culturally-
tailored and gender-specific educational materials that promote HIV
testing among this population. The data collection process will take
approximately 2 years.
There will be a screening for each phase, 30 respondents for the
one-on-one, 300 respondents for the survey, and 40 for the focus group.
In Phase 1, local investigators will conduct qualitative interviews
with 20 non-Hispanic black, heterosexual men, ages 18-25, who were
recently arrested or who were recently released from jail/prison and
meet screening criteria. The interviews will identify their attitudes
towards HIV testing, socio-cultural norms, and perceived behavioral
control factors that influence HIV testing. The interviews will also
elicit their opinions of how to promote HIV testing among their peers.
Each interview will last approximately 1.5 hours. During Phase 2, the
results from Phase I will be used to identify variables for a survey
that will examine attitudes towards HIV testing, socio-cultural norms,
and perceived behavioral control factors to HIV testing intentions and
behaviors. The survey will include 250 non-Hispanic black heterosexual
men, ages 18-25, who meet screening criteria. Each survey will last
approximately 30 minutes.
During Phase 3, using Phase 1 and 2 results, educational materials
promoting HIV testing among 24 non-Hispanic black heterosexual men will
be developed and pilot tested in focus groups of young black men who
meet screening criteria to evaluate the acceptability of the materials.
This study will provide important epidemiologic information useful
for the development of HIV prevention interventions for young black
men.
There is no cost to respondents except for their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours are 265.
