Abstract

Abstract Rural men who have sex with men (MSM) are particularly vulnerable to HIV/STI infections, though most outreach efforts to reach MSM have been focused on urban populations. More attention is needed to study effective ways of reaching/recruiting rural MSM, yet little is known about their preferences; particularly as studies show significant differences in the behaviors and perceptions of rural versus urban MSM. Our study uses a qualitative instrument to gauge what outreach methods are most effective from the perspective of 40, rural MSM. Outreach facilitators included online marketing, emphasizing rural areas, while outreach barriers included traditional forms of print media/advertising, or anything that may jeopardize anonymity. Implications for future outreach in rural areas and limitations are also discussed.
农村男性行为者(MSM)的经历和外展健康计划的偏好
农村男男性行为者(MSM)特别容易感染艾滋病毒/性传播感染,尽管大多数针对男男性行为者的推广工作都集中在城市人口中。需要更多地关注研究接触/招募农村男男性行为者的有效方法,但对他们的偏好知之甚少;特别是研究显示农村和城市男同性恋者的行为和观念存在显著差异。我们的研究使用了一种定性工具来衡量从40000名农村男男性行为者的角度来看,什么样的外展方法是最有效的。推广促进者包括强调农村地区的在线营销,而推广障碍包括传统形式的印刷媒体/广告,或任何可能危及匿名性的东西。对今后在农村地区推广的影响和限制也进行了讨论。
