We examined Chinese immigrant religious institutions' views on teaching about preventing sexual transmission of HIV and the consistency of their views with public health best practices in HIV prevention.
We used 2009 to 2011 survey data from 712 members of 20 New York City-based Chinese immigrant religious institutions to analyze their views on (1) teaching adolescents about condoms, (2) discussing homosexuality nonjudgmentally, and (3) promoting abstinence until marriage.
Religion type was a significant predictor of views in the 3 domains, with Evangelical Protestants in least agreement with public health best practices, Buddhists in most agreement, and mainline Protestants between them. Greater HIV knowledge was significantly associated with agreement with best practices in all 3 domains. The frequency of prayer, meditation, or chanting and the level of acculturation were significant predictors of views on teaching adolescents about condoms and promoting abstinence until marriage.
The best practice messages about HIV prevention that Chinese immigrant religious institutions find acceptable vary according to religion type and several other key factors, including HIV knowledge; frequency of prayer, meditation, or chanting; and level of acculturation.
我们研究了华裔移民宗教机构对开展预防艾滋病毒性传播教学的看法，以及他们的观点与艾滋病毒预防方面公共卫生最佳实践的一致性。
我们使用了2009年至2011年对纽约市20个华裔移民宗教机构的712名成员进行调查的数据，以分析他们对以下方面的看法：（1）向青少年传授避孕套知识；（2）不带评判地讨论同性恋；（3）提倡婚前禁欲。
宗教类型是这三个领域观点的重要预测因素，福音派新教徒与公共卫生最佳实践的共识最少，佛教徒的共识最多，主流新教徒介于两者之间。更高的艾滋病毒知识水平与在所有三个领域对最佳实践的认同显著相关。祈祷、冥想或诵经的频率以及文化适应程度是对向青少年传授避孕套知识和提倡婚前禁欲观点的重要预测因素。
华裔移民宗教机构认为可接受的关于艾滋病毒预防的最佳实践信息因宗教类型以及其他几个关键因素而异，这些因素包括艾滋病毒知识；祈祷、冥想或诵经的频率；以及文化适应程度。
