Abstract

Memphis, TN ranks first in the U.S. for HIV incidence and is designated as a high priority geographic area by the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative. National EHE goals call for active engagement of all community sectors, including faith-based organizations, to promote HIV testing and prevention. Given Memphis' high density of predominately Black Churches and faith-centric culture, these institutions serve as a strategic platform for culturally tailored behavioral interventions. This study details the 6 behavioral intervention mapping (IM) steps used to plan, implement, and evaluate Leading by Igniting Faith and Education to Tackle Stigma (L.I.F.T.)-a faith-based HIV health education curriculum addressing HIV testing and prevention discrepancies in high HIV-incidence areas. IM is a systematic approach, useful for involving faith communities by providing a theory-informed scaffolding to address HIV disparities via community education programming.

L.I.F.T.项目——在美国南部建立以信仰为基础的艾滋病健康教育干预的6个干预步骤。

田纳西州孟菲斯市的艾滋病毒发病率在美国排名第一，并被美国终止艾滋病毒流行（EHE）倡议指定为高度优先的地理区域。国家EHE目标要求包括宗教组织在内的所有社区部门积极参与，以促进艾滋病毒检测和预防。考虑到孟菲斯以黑人为主的高密度教堂和以信仰为中心的文化，这些机构可以作为文化定制行为干预的战略平台。本研究详细介绍了6个行为干预映射（IM）步骤，用于计划、实施和评估“点燃信仰和教育引导解决耻辱”（L.I.F.T.）——一个基于信仰的艾滋病毒健康教育课程，旨在解决艾滋病毒高发地区的艾滋病毒检测和预防差异。即时传播是一种系统的方法，有助于让信仰团体参与进来，它提供了一个理论基础的框架，通过社区教育规划解决艾滋病毒差异问题。

期刊介绍： Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
