We describe lessons learned from a national HIV prevention research program grounded in community-based participatory research, the Men of Asia Testing for HIV (MATH) Study, which targeted self-identified Asian/Pacific Islander men in the United States who have sex with men. We discuss the genesis of and impetus for the study and then describe its various facets, including accomplishments, challenges, and unanticipated consequences. We conclude with a discussion about the real-world practice of community-based participatory research with respect to the MATH Study in particular and similar research in general.
我们描述了从一个以社区为基础的参与式研究为基础的全国艾滋病毒预防研究计划中吸取的经验教训,该计划名为“亚洲男性艾滋病毒检测研究”(MATH),针对的是在美国与男性发生性关系的自我认同为亚洲/太平洋岛民的男性。我们讨论了该研究的起源和动力,然后描述了它的各个方面,包括成就、挑战和意外后果。最后,我们特别讨论了 MATH 研究以及一般类似研究中社区为基础的参与式研究的实际做法。
