Abstract

This is a Matters Arising about an article titled "A structural equation modeling approach to investigate HIV testing willingness for men who have sex with men in China" in the issue of AIDS Res Ther 20, 64 (2023) " of this journal has been published. While thanking and appreciating the good authors of this article, we would like to explain some of the methodological issues of this study in order to clarify and disambiguate the methodology part of this article and other articles submitted in this style. First of all, it should be known that the concept and definition of structural equation modeling, the reason and method of doing it, specifying the observable and latent variables in the model, the exogenous and endogenous variables of the model, the correct way to draw the SEM graph, should be properly considered. The authors of this Matters Arising do not seek to refute or confirm the authors of this article. Our final opinion is that the methodology section should be written better and scientific clarification should be made in the methodology section for readers and interested parties.

出现的问题:采用结构方程模型法调查男男性行为者的 HIV 检测意愿。
本期《AIDS Res Ther 20, 64 (2023) 》发表了一篇题为 "A structural equation modeling approach to investigate HIV testing willingness for men who have sex with men in China "的文章。在感谢和赞赏这篇文章的优秀作者的同时,我们想解释一下这项研究的一些方法学问题,以便澄清和明确这篇文章和其他以此文体投稿的文章的方法学部分。首先,应该知道,结构方程模型的概念和定义、做结构方程模型的原因和方法、明确模型中的可观测变量和潜变量、模型中的外生变量和内生变量、绘制 SEM 图形的正确方法等,都应该得到正确的考虑。本 "提出的问题 "的作者无意反驳或证实本文作者的观点。我们的最终意见是,方法论部分应该写得更好,并在方法论部分为读者和有关方面做出科学的说明。
