Culture-based Prediction of Adolescent HIV Risk (ICPSR 35922)

Released/updated on: 2015-06-11
Geographic coverage: United States
This study collects qualitative data on cultural models of sex and romantic relationships in samples drawn from heterosexual and sexual minority communities in three cities: Oakland, CA; Chigano, IL; and Birmingham, AL. It also collects survey data on these domains. Finally, it collects information about cultural attributes and HIV risk behaviors for each specific sexual orientation group.

Gender Role Norms, Sexual Scripts and Black Men's Heterosexual Risk Behaviors (ICPSR 35933)

Released/updated on: 2015-06-03
Geographic coverage: United States
This project conducts in-depth interviews and focus groups to identify and describe gender role norms and sexual scripts for African American MSW (men who have sex with women). This 3-year study uses cross-sectional multi-site venue-based probability sampling to recruit African American MSW between the ages of 18 and 44 in Philadelphia, PA to examine how these concepts are associated with sexual risk among African American MSW.

Heterosexual Black Females: Socialization and HIV Risks in Scripts and Practices (ICPSR 35992)

Released/updated on: 2015-06-17
Geographic coverage: United States
This project extends and builds upon findings emerging from the parent project called "Multiple Sexual Partnering and HIV Risks Among Low-Income Heterosexual Black Men". The project conducts 15 focus groups involving 120 participants. 150 focal subjects are recruited who report different patterns of multiple sexual partnerships (overlapping and/or sequential), and they participate in three years of research. The omnibus longitudinal ethnographic approach involves in-depth qualitative interviews about the women's sexual partners and practices and their preferred scripts for justifying multiple partners, along with direct observations of the focal subjects in their households and communities.

HIV Risk Behavior of Adult Minority Heterosexual Men in New York City (ICPSR 35843)

Released/updated on: 2015-04-24
Geographic coverage: New York City, United States
This 2-year study collects data on 324 HIV-positive adult men who have sex with women (MSW) recruited from primary care settings in Harlem and South Bronx in New York City. The data are used to investigate sexual behavior and determinants of HIV risk among HIV seropositive adult African American and Latino MSW in urban settings. A structured quantitative questionnaire is administered to participants using audio computer assisted self-interview (ACASI) techniques. The questionnaire includes items documenting the range, variation, patterns, and networks of adult men's heterosexual behavior, and related determinants.

Lay Conceptions of Sexual Orientation Groups: United States Convenience Samples, 2012 (ICPSR 38131)

Released/updated on: 2023-01-30
Geographic coverage: United States
Researchers aimed to characterize certain features of lay beliefs and attitudes surrounding sexual orientation groups, with a particular focus on conceptions of bisexual people. In brief, participants were recruited without explicitly calling attention to their own sexual orientation, but with a number of intentional steps to make the study visible to sexual minorities. The study asked participants a series of questions about issues related to sexuality, gender, and sexual orientation. Most notably, in the middle section of the study, participants were randomly assigned to consider one group in-depth: heterosexual women, heterosexual men, bisexual women, bisexual men, homosexual women, and homosexual men. (The adjective structure was kept consistent for all 6 groups.) Participants responded to a number of attitude and belief items about their assigned target group, including beliefs about the controllability and stability of the group's sexual orientation and guesses about the personality characteristics of group members.

Networks of Heterosexual Risk and HIV (ICPSR 35834)

Released/updated on: 2015-06-05
Geographic coverage: United States
This study examines heterosexual transmission of HIV within serodiscordant intimate relationships. It expands on the AIDS Risk Reduction Model (ARRM), adding the person's motivation to protect the partner and the motivation to preserve the relationship. Participants in the primary sample includes 200 dyads, consisting of 200 HIV positive (HIV+) persons and their heterosexual HIV negative (HIV-) partners, recruited from HIV care and testing sites. The study also recruits "HIV gatekeepers" (HIV- persons who have both HIV+ and HIV- sex partners), studying 35 gatekeeper triads (gatekeeper, HIV+ partner, and HIV- partner).

Peer-Driven Intervention to Seek, Test, and Treat Heterosexuals at High Risk for HIV, New York City, 2011-2016 (ICPSR 39781)

Released/updated on: 2026-04-14
Geographic coverage: New York City, United States, Brooklyn, New York (state)
Time period: 2012-04-01--2016-04-01, 2015-02-01--2016-08-01

This study is part of the Seek, Test, Treat and Retain (STTR) Collaboration Project that involved over twenty studies in the fields of HIV and drug abuse. All studies were independently developed, but were chosen for the collaboration because they focused on one or more steps of the HIV treatment cascade: Seek, Test, Treat and Retain. As part of STTR Collaboration Project, the studies were grouped into Criminal Justice-related studies and Vulnerable Population-related studies. The data collected by these studies included twelve common domains (e.g., Demographic characteristics, Mental Health) in each of which a shared questionnaire or instrument was taken up by the studies and adapted to fit the study.

This study is divided into BCAP1/2 and BCU (or BCAP3):

BCAP1/2

  • Compares Respondent-driven sampling (RDS)and Venue-based sampling (VBS) recruitment in terms of numbers of new diagnosis of HIV+ and examines the effectiveness of peer-driven intervention (PDI) in heterosexuals at high risk (HHR). BCAP2 only includes those who tested HIV+ in BCAP1 who were included in recruitment but not in the main analyses. PDI involving structured intervention sessions including a computerized "CARE for Prevention" tool and HIV pre-test and post-test counseling, the opportunity to educate three peers on core education messages, and navigation for those HIV infected. If HIV-negative: total 3.5 hours of facilitated/computer intervention activities, plus peer education experiences; if HIV-positive: 5 hrs facilitated/computer activities, plus peer education experiences and six months of navigation.

BCU (or BCAP3)

  • BCU is a supplement study to BCAP1/2 and tests an anonymous, single-session HIV testing intervention (ASTN) in the same high-risk area (HRA) in Brooklyn as BCAP1/2 and compare to CTTN in two phases: the Seek and Test phase (N=750), and Treat and Retain phase (N=65). The primary endpoint of the Seek and Test intervention phase is the relative yield (proportion of newly identified HIV infections) of the RDS-ASTN intervention. The study assesses the proportion of those newly diagnosed that engages in activities of the Treat and Retain part (i.e., feasibility). The primary endpoints for the Treat and Retain intervention phase are the proportion linked to care within three months (i.e., attending a care appointment and receiving CD4 and viral load tests) and time to the HIV care appointment.1 BCU2 only includes those who tested positive in BCU1 who were included in ST counseling sessions and blood collection but not included in TrR phase.

Relationship Dynamics and Sexual Risk Behaviors (ICPSR 35908)

Released/updated on: 2015-06-08
Geographic coverage: United States
This project tracks 528 men and women at a high risk for HIV infection as they initiate, maintain, and/or terminate heterosexual relationships. At Time 3, about 150 men and 150 women who are the sexual partners of members of the initial sample are also enrolled in the study. At Times 3 and 4, data are collected from both members of the dyad separately and together. The study focuses on partnership-specific relationship dynamics, concurrent sexual partnerships, individual-level sexual risk perceptions, intentions, and behaviors, as well as condom use.
