From 2005 to 2008, the Bienvenidos Project trained Puerto Rican patients of New York City and New Jersey Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs to conduct peer-based community outreach to migrant Puerto Rican drug users to reduce migrants' HIV risk behaviors. Ethnographic research, including focus groups, individual interviews, and observations, was conducted with a subset of the patients trained as peers (n = 49; 67% male; mean age 40.3 years) to evaluate the self-perceived effects of the intervention. Results of the ethnographic component of this study are summarized. The role of ethnographic methods in implementing and evaluating this kind of intervention is also discussed.
从 2005 年至 2008 年，Bienvenidos 项目培训了来自纽约市和新泽西州美沙酮维持治疗项目的波多黎各患者，让他们对流动的波多黎各吸毒者开展基于同伴的社区外展活动，以减少移民的艾滋病毒风险行为。对作为同伴接受培训的一部分患者（n=49；67%为男性；平均年龄 40.3 岁）进行了人种学研究，包括焦点小组、个人访谈和观察，以评估干预措施的自我感知效果。本研究人种学部分的结果概述如下。本文还讨论了人种学方法在实施和评估此类干预措施中的作用。
