In the United States, the threat of HIV/AIDS to African American women's health has become the focus of much concern. This paper describes a federally funded community-based program that provides services to African American women at risk for HIV/AIDS in Nashville, Tennessee. The program provides a culturally relevant set of interventions specific to crack cocaine users aimed at reducing substance use and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors. The model is important for the continued development of culturally relevant interventions aimed at reducing the disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS within the African American community by ensuring treatment access to all populations.
在美国，艾滋病毒/艾滋病对非裔美国女性健康构成的威胁已成为备受关注的焦点。本文介绍了一个由联邦政府资助的社区项目，该项目为田纳西州纳什维尔市面临艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险的非裔美国女性提供服务。该项目针对快克可卡因使用者提供了一系列符合文化背景的干预措施，旨在减少药物使用及艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险行为。该模式对于持续开展符合文化背景的干预措施非常重要，这些措施旨在通过确保所有人群都能获得治疗，来降低非裔美国社区内艾滋病毒/艾滋病的不均衡感染率。
