African American women are disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. To address this disparity, the CDC released a call for targeted communication campaigns in African American communities. The mass media is an HIV/AIDS information source used by African Americans, and media initiatives can be cost-effective for delivering HIV prevention messages. Needed is research in communities at risk to determine the messages needed and the preferred formats and channels with which to deliver the messages so that targeted communication campaigns can be part of the multifaceted approach to ending the HIV/AIDS disparity affecting African American women.
在美国,非裔美国女性受艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情的影响尤为严重。为解决这一差异问题,美国疾病控制与预防中心呼吁在非裔美国人社区开展有针对性的宣传活动。大众媒体是非裔美国人获取艾滋病毒/艾滋病信息的来源之一,媒体宣传活动在传播艾滋病毒预防信息方面具有成本效益。有必要在高危社区开展研究,以确定所需的信息以及传递这些信息的首选形式和渠道,以便有针对性的宣传活动能够成为消除影响非裔美国女性的艾滋病毒/艾滋病差异的多方面方法的一部分。
