AB We report on the use of qualitative research in the design of
video-based interventions aimed at reducing AIDS and other sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) among inner-city Hispanics. Focus groups,
personal interviews, and clinic observations were conducted in the South
Bronx and Queens, New York, to inform the development of culturally
sensitive video-based materials for improving prevention education
provided at inner-city STD clinics. Findings elucidate culturally
defined gender roles and responsibilities regarding the introduction of
condom use into primary and nonprimary relationships, as well as other
norms, attitudes, and behaviors reducing the effectiveness of current
AIDS and other STD prevention efforts. Too often, educational
materials--including an increasing number of videos--are based on
untested assumptions about what information should be provided rather
than adequate formative research. One reason may be that the literature
contains few accounts of how the empirical evidence obtained through
such research can be translated into theoretically sound interventions.
This paper explicates such a process.
