Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this protocol is to develop and evaluate an HIV prevention Entertainment Education (EE) intervention aimed at reaching underserved, at-risk African Americans, aged 18-25 years, living in disadvantaged urban neighborhoods in the Birmingham area.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this 5 year project is to promote HIV testing and improve HIV-related risk behaviors (e.g. condom use, substance use before sex, regular Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) testing) via population-sensitive and population-specific HIV prevention videos that are appealing, evidence-based, scalable, and sustainable to the target population. Formative research was conducted in Phase I (Year 1-2), to pre-test the questionnaire and gather in-depth data (via focus groups, intercept interviews, and individual structured interviews) to inform intervention development. Phase 2 of the project involved developing, delivering, and subsequently evaluating the efficacy of peer-driven EE HIV prevention messaging to broader social networks via a social media platform, with the platform contingent on formative data. An HIV education video series, "The Beat HIVe", was produced and served as intervention materials for the quasi-experimental research project. Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) was used to access and use the social networks of high-risk youths as channel and agents for change. RDS is a recent innovative adaptation of chain-referral network sampling that provides peer-driven access to hard-to-reach subpopulations while reducing sampling biases associated with conventional snowball sampling.
