Brief Summary:
International studies have repeatedly documented a substantial prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and high rates of human immunodeficiency virus HIV and other sexually transmitted infections STI ranging from 5-56 amongst long-distance truck drivers truckers living in diverse international settings including India Bangladesh South Africa China Laos and Thailand The prevalence of sexual risk factors and STIHIV in US drivers is unknown This proposal will provide both qualitative and quantitative data on HIV risk behaviors by interviewing and testing truckers working for established long-distance trucking firms the sector which accounts for most of the jobs in the trucking and warehousing industry in the United States The data obtained from this study will be used to inform the development of an HIV prevention intervention for long-haul truck drivers
Detailed Description:
The study proposed in this R34 application will address the following specific aims
Specific Aim 1 To perform focus groups and in-depth interviews with long-haul truck drivers to guide development of both a behavioral risk assessment instrument and an acceptable HIVSTI screening protocol for long-haul truckers
Specific Aim 2 To perform in-depth interviews with trucking industry executives to determine barriers to routine HIVSTI assessment and screening of their employees
Specific Aim 3 To perform a pilot phase with a subsample of long-haul truck drivers characterized by the following steps TTM-based cognitive interviews N5 pilot testing of the survey and biomedical screening protocol N15 and a follow-up focus group N8
Specific Aim 4 To assess a sample of N300 truck drivers for general health and sexual risk behaviors using the adapted theory-based survey and to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B hepatitis C hypertension hyperlipidemia diabetes and obesity HIV N gonorrhoeae and C trachomatis
