To address the gap in knowledge about HIV risk reduction materials that target older adults. This review offered a comprehensive and rigorous examination of HIV risk reduction education materials that targeted older adults in the United States, assessing the gap in their coverage and content.
A cross-sectional review of both print and Internet sources from state departments of public health, state and area agencies on aging, and web resources that targeted older populations was performed.
Of 29 health departments and 13 state and area agencies on aging that responded to the request, there were 9 HIV education materials identified that targeted older people. Of those materials, only 2 addressed the majority of aging-specific recommendations made from a previous study that described important HIV risk reduction information.
Recommendations are made about dissemination ideas to increase awareness and utilization of HIV educational materials.
填补针对老年人的降低HIV风险材料方面的知识空白。本综述对美国针对老年人的降低HIV风险教育材料进行了全面且严格的审查,评估了其覆盖范围和内容方面的差距。
对来自州公共卫生部门、州和地区老龄机构的印刷品及互联网资源以及针对老年人群体的网络资源进行横断面审查。
在回应请求的29个卫生部门和13个州及地区老龄机构中,共确定了9种针对老年人的HIV教育材料。在这些材料中,只有2种涉及了先前一项研究提出的大多数针对老龄化的建议,该研究描述了重要的降低HIV风险信息。
提出了关于传播理念的建议,以提高对HIV教育材料的认识和利用率。
