Despite pharmaceutical advances, AIDS remains a health problem difficult to treat, leaving preventive interventions as the primary means of promoting risk avoidance. Increasing the capacity of university-based researchers to develop culturally, developmentally, and contextually appropriate AIDS prevention strategies requires the collaboration of community service and advocacy partners. To date, neither university researchers nor community providers have a great deal of partnership experience. Thus, a common language and set of experiences are yet to be developed. This article reviews the history of university-community and researcher-community collaboration for AIDS research and intervention, placing the innovative work of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Center for AIDS Prevention Studies and its community and foundation partnerships among those efforts at the forefront of the community-university dialogue. It concludes with suggestions derived from the collaborative work of UCSF researchers and community service partners to strengthen efforts to develop theory, research methods, and results that are immediately useful and productive of long-term prevention research efforts.
尽管制药技术不断进步,但艾滋病仍然是一个难以治疗的健康问题,预防干预措施仍是促进避免风险的主要手段。提高大学研究人员制定适合不同文化、发展阶段和具体情况的艾滋病预防策略的能力,需要社区服务和倡导伙伴的合作。迄今为止,大学研究人员和社区服务提供者都没有太多的合作经验。因此,尚未形成一种共同语言和一系列共同经历。本文回顾了大学与社区以及研究人员与社区在艾滋病研究和干预方面的合作历史,将加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校(UCSF)艾滋病预防研究中心及其社区和基金会伙伴关系的创新工作置于社区与大学对话前沿的那些努力之中。文章最后提出了一些建议,这些建议源自UCSF研究人员与社区服务伙伴的合作工作,旨在加强发展理论、研究方法和成果的努力,这些理论、方法和成果应具有直接实用性,并能推动长期预防研究工作。
