AB Community based AIDS prevention programming and research in minority
neighborhoods are growing. The AIDS epidemic has demoralized many
minority communities and has added to enormously stressing social
conditions. Obstacles to effective AIDS prevention programming must be
removed before stable, accessible, and culturally relevant services can
be provided. A pilot study was conducted to identify the obstacles to
AIDS research or intervention in ethnic minority neighborhoods.
Twenty-nine administrators and counselors from Community Based
Organizations completed questionnaires concerning reasons for entering
the field of AIDS prevention, enjoyment of work, hopefulness towards
AIDS efforts, priority of AIDS funding, and opinions about most and
least helpful prevention efforts in minority communities. Barriers
identified as most problematic include insufficient funds, lack of
culturally relevant materials, denial of the epidemic in minority
communities, distrust of majority culture institutions, and
myths/beliefs regarding AIDS contraction, transmission, and origin.
Future research ideas are identified to improve culturally relevant AIDS
prevention interventions in ethnocultural neighborhoods.
