Previous research on migrant health indicates that social integration may exert a strong influence on health behavior. However, to our knowledge, this factor has not been integrated into models for HIV prevention. Drawing constructs from the Health Belief Model, the objective of this paper was to determine whether social integration, demographic, relationship and other factors were related to migrants' ability to prevent HIV infection through AIDS knowledge and condom use. Data for the study were drawn from a survey of 3,405 male and female migrant laborers from Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos who were working in Thailand in 2010. Regression analysis showed that social integration, participation in an AIDS prevention program, self efficacy, demographic and relationship factors increased AIDS knowledge and condom use with regular and nonregular partners. The social integration of migrants into the Thai community strengthened HIV prevention efforts.
先前关于移民健康的研究表明，社会融合可能对健康行为产生强烈影响。然而，据我们所知，这一因素尚未纳入艾滋病预防模型。本文从健康信念模型中提取了一些概念，旨在确定社会融合、人口统计学、人际关系和其他因素是否与移民通过艾滋病知识和使用避孕套预防艾滋病毒感染的能力有关。本研究的数据来自于 2010 年对在泰国工作的来自缅甸、柬埔寨和老挝的 3405 名男女移民工人的调查。回归分析表明，社会融合、参与艾滋病预防计划、自我效能、人口统计学和人际关系因素会提高艾滋病知识水平，并增加与固定和非固定伴侣使用避孕套的频率。移民融入泰国社会有助于加强艾滋病预防工作。
