Abstract
Although the Latino community living in the United States has been disproportionately
affected by the intersecting epidemics of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs), the development, implementation, and evaluation of HIV and STD prevention
interventions designed to reduce infection among Latinos lags behind prevention
efforts targeting other communities.
HoMBReS: Hombres Manteniendo Bienestar y Relaciones Saludables is a sexual
risk reduction intervention designed to reduce HIV and STD infection among
recently arrived, non-English-speaking Latino men who are members of a
multicounty Latino soccer league in central North Carolina, a region of
the United States with both the fastest growing Latino population and disproportionate
HIV and STD infection rates. HoMBReS was developed in partnership with
the local Latino community using community-based participatory research
(CBPR).
We describe (a) the CBPR partnership history and further expansion; (b)
the development of the intervention through the integration of collected
formative data, theoretical considerations, and findings from the scientific
literature; and (c) lessons learned while using a CBPR approach to develop
HoMBReS.
