This pilot study tests the feasibility of using a Talking Circle approach and measures cultural values and beliefs within a HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevention program conducted among a Native American (Cherokee) youth population. A descriptive correlation design was used to examine the relationship between Cherokee self-reliance and HIV/AIDS and HCV knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The study used three questionnaires that were administered before and after the prevention program to collect data from a convenience sample of 41 students at a public high school within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Statistical analysis revealed immediate differences between pretests and posttests related to knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions concerning HIV/AIDS and HCV and the cultural dynamic of Cherokee self-reliance.
这项试点研究测试了采用“畅所欲言圈”方法的可行性，并在一项针对美国原住民（切罗基族）青年群体开展的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）预防项目中，衡量文化价值观和信仰。采用描述性相关设计来检验切罗基族的自力更生与艾滋病毒/艾滋病及丙肝病毒的知识、态度和行为之间的关系。该研究使用了三份问卷，在预防项目前后进行发放，以从俄克拉荷马州切罗基族领地内一所公立高中的41名学生这一便利样本中收集数据。统计分析揭示了在艾滋病毒/艾滋病和丙肝病毒的知识、态度及行为意图以及切罗基族自力更生的文化动态方面，前测和后测之间存在即时差异。
