Utilizing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach is a potentially effective strategy for exploring the development, implementation, and evaluation of HIV interventions in African American churches. This CBPR-guided study describes a church-based HIV awareness and screening intervention (Taking It to the Pews [TIPS]) that fully involved African American church leaders in all phases of the research project. Findings from the implementation and evaluation phases indicated that church leaders delivered TIPS Tool Kit activities on an ongoing basis (about twice a month) over a 9-month period. TIPS church members were highly exposed to TIPS activities (e.g., 91% reported receiving HIV educational brochures, 84% heard a sermon about HIV). Most (87%) believed that the church should talk about HIV, and 77% believed that the church should offer HIV screening. These findings suggest that implementing an HIV intervention in Black church settings is achievable, particularly when a CBPR approach is used.
采用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）方法是探索针对非裔美国人教会的艾滋病毒干预措施的开发、实施和评估的一种潜在有效策略。这项由CBPR指导的研究描述了一种基于教会的艾滋病毒意识和筛查干预措施（“带到长椅上”[TIPS]），该措施让非裔美国教会领袖全面参与到研究项目的各个阶段。实施和评估阶段的结果表明，教会领袖在9个月的时间里持续（大约每月两次）开展TIPS工具包活动。TIPS教会成员高度参与了TIPS活动（例如，91%的人报告收到了艾滋病毒教育宣传册，84%的人听过关于艾滋病毒的布道）。大多数人（87%）认为教会应该谈论艾滋病毒，77%的人认为教会应该提供艾滋病毒筛查。这些结果表明，在黑人教会环境中实施艾滋病毒干预措施是可行的，特别是当采用CBPR方法时。
