Exploring participatory HIV prevention strategies for youth through a community-based participatory research partnership Abstract #154104 2007 American Public Health Association Meeting Washington, DC

2 Acknowledgments Safe Horizon, Bronx AIDS Services,
Citizens Advice Bureau, Project Reach Youth, New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute Adolescent HIV Prevention Services Unit, Cornell University Family Life Development Center Youth involved in pilot study – Spring 2006 Jennifer Sarah Tiffany, Maricela Brea, John J. Eckenrode, Ellen Kate Friedrichs, Rachael M. Peters, Candia Richards-Clarke, Danny Stewart, and Thomas Tallon

3 Issues Engaging young people in HIV prevention efforts is crucial to stemming the global epidemic. Many programs have developed innovative participatory strategies for involving youth. Few studies have researched the relationship between youth engagement in participatory HIV prevention programs and HIV risk reduction.

4 (includes 34 diagnoses in children <13)
Youth in New York State: Too many becoming infected with HIV, too few accessing care Estimated number of new infections each year in people aged <25 in New York State 3,600 US total: 40,000 NYS share: 18% Percentage in youth: 50% New HIV/AIDS diagnoses reported during 2004 in people aged <25 in NYS 716 (includes 34 diagnoses in children <13) Percentage of estimated number of new HIV infections in people aged <25 in NYS that are diagnosed 20% (one in five) Estimated number of new infections not diagnosed if projections are accurate 2,884 Estimated number of new infections each year in people aged <25 in New York State

5 Complementary Strengths:
Our goal is to examine whether specific characteristics of highly engaged program participation (e.g., youth voice/choice/influence on program decision-making, opportunities for individual development, quality of linkages between the program and other key social contexts, and program climate) influence young people’s connectedness to family and the larger community, and their HIV risk reduction practices.

6 Brief history of our partnership
2004 – New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute Adolescent HIV Prevention Services worked to expand strength-based approaches 2005 – Foundation for the partnership (main question: how do strength-based, positive youth development approaches affect HIV risk reduction?)…Developed initial proposal to NIH (May)...IRB approval (August)…Formed steering committee (October)….Planned pilot study

7 2006 – Pilot study engaged 98 young people: Youth program participants between the ages of 13 and 24 piloted a survey regarding program participation characteristics, social connectedness, and HIV risk reduction. (February-March)…April and October data discussion sessions with youth 2007 – Expanded partnership to involve NYC Department of Youth and Community Development and five additional community-based programs (Spring)…Funded for larger exploratory study (September)

8 Supporting engagement
Fast tempo –worked to reduce lag time between data collection and data interpretation Group discussions enabled youth to discuss issues addressed in the survey and to give feedback on the survey contents and format Rapid preliminary data analysis Data interpretation sessions sought to promote youth voice and adult-youth dialogue Aggregate data reports to programs

9 Recommendations Provide tangible incentives to youth participants at the same time as fostering their intrinsic interest in the research process Develop infrastructure to allow rapid preliminary data analysis Organize timely community-based data interpretation sessions Develop processes for translation of research findings into program activities Encourage understanding and appropriation of the research process by participants Design flexible modes of participation for youth and frontline staff Create opportunities for working sessions that spark dialogue among stakeholder groups

10 Next steps Larger exploratory study supported by the National Institute of Nursing Research (1R21NR A1 - Longitudinal design: Baseline, 6-month and 12-month surveys of year olds in 8 NYC programs) Possibly develop proposal for longer term intervention research Continue to emphasize dissemination and utilization of findings Continuing to build the partnership

11 Discussion of participation scale
HIV prevention and participatory program strategies for youth: Are voice, choice, decision-making, and opportunities for personal development linked to risk reduction practices? (Abstract #155680) Tuesday, November 6, 2007 12:30 PM-2:00 PM Panel on Methodological Considerations for Recruitment, Data Collection, and Assessment in HIV Research
